What do you do to hold your mayors, city councils, and county commissions accountable? How do you hold their feet to the fire?
The good news is that if you’re like most Americans, your local representatives are blue! And claim to be more progressive than national Democrats!
It’s a whole hell of a lot easier to push your local politicians than state or national ones. And they have a huge influence on your lives! So why are these cities all run like GOP wet dreams?
This is a thread for serious discussion about changing the empty promise about voting for someone you can hold accountable! A thread about how maybe if you started off with the easy part and built a framework you can demonstrate to people, they might actually take you seriously in the future when you talk about a national election! This is also a thread for mocking “progressive” local leaders from anywhere across the country!
We can post tweets and headlines and say, “look at this piece of shit politician!” We can post memes. We can post evidence that anyone is having any success pushing these leaders to do anything that helps people who aren’t wealthy and don’t wear a badge! When people say “well there’s things these leaders have done, like sanctuary cities,” we can prove how big of a silly illusion that is!
