I’ve often asked myself the same thing. I’ve actually got a website up where I sort of throw it out there that I’d like to run. It’s probably not realistic that a random person who’s not versed in politics nor wealthy from the get go, but I’m really fucking such of feeling powerless against those with millions- billions of wealth that they use to influence everything else everywhere while 99%everywhere else struggle.
I’ve even searched for party and alternative groups to see what or who could ever offer real momentum against the 2 party system!
I have little knowledge and a lot of motivation/conviction, but a healthy fear if anyone ever posed a real enough threat to those in power, that threat would “fall out a window” or kill themselves, or something else random.
I’ve started volunteering with Forward party which feels like a catch-all for 2 party abandoners, independents, and anyone else looking for logic over emotion.
