Without looking, do you know who represents you on your city council? The argument is not that you’re insincerely committed to Andrew Yang, it’s that your interest in him is about something other than trying to get a grip on the levers of power. You can spend a lot of money on fancy cooking utensils and even spend a lot of time in the kitchen, but that doesn’t make you a professional chef.

Some Trumper so no. I have basically no viable path to seizing any kind of power locally in Williamson County Texas. If I end up being wrong about that it’ll be in the aftermath of the next election. Homebuilders and lenders seem to run this place, and honestly they aren’t doing that bad of a job.

On the national level my goal is to capsize the establishment of the Democratic party so it can be remade in a more populist way. That’s where most of my political effort goes.

I vehemently disagree with the idea that the professional political class has much legitimacy right now.

Not sure what precinct you’re in, but says here that a Democrat ousted a longish-serving Republican from the Williamson County commission in the last election:

And I get that your goal is a fundamental transformation of the Democratic Party, followed by a similar transformation of the American political and economic system shortly thereafter. That’s an engaging hobby. The point of the piece is that that hobby is, at best, pretty useless and, at worst, undermines the real work.

The real work of $4.5B to build the wall, $738B for the war department and the USMCA. Go Dems!

The real work is $3.5B to build the wall, $730B for the war department, and $9B for green energy subsidies and expanded medical care for the poor.
