Remember when I was posting about ideas to share with your liberal friends that make more sense than giving money to Biden (aw come on!)
Local races, local orgs are better.
I found a good one. This group is doing a recall campaign to get rid a of literal torch carrying nazi who won by just 36 votes while hiding his ties to racism and extremism.
Sure, I've read a bit about that.
But now they admit it publicly ????
I mean, they used to say that they need to save America, save the Constitution, save Democracy, whatever.
Now they clearly say that they want to abolish democracy entirely ?
@futurebird@lienrag@DecaturNature Many people in my family work in different parts of the federal government and I’m really worried we’ll lose our jobs.

That's because corporate media thrives on bad news. They know this and continue to try to publish nothing but bad news.
@futurebird@lienrag@DecaturNature What blows my mind is the media underplaying the danger are the ones who'd probably be first against the wall (and I mean that pretty literally in this case) if Trump manages to take power again. Like I know they care first and foremost about making money, but uhm, we're talking in the next few years that he'll be coming for them... I know they only can think short term, but this should be short enough they should be scared for their lives now.
Biden has raised enough money. He's way ahead. Money isn't his problem nor can it solve his problems.
A greater focus on local politics might help him win more than direct donations (and presidential campaigns normally share out their funding, though who they prioritize is not who you might prioritize)
I don't really think the party does a great job picking what races matter all of the time. So that means studying that topic myself.
