Ha ha, this guy is awesome. We need to organize enough to be able to put guys like him up for local office. City council for instance. It wouldn't take that much oranization, and we could do it from the fediverse, we could make a new type of social media interoperable with lemmy and mastadon, and start it here on lemmy and mastadon in the interim.

Find and grooming candidates, coordinating getting them press, dealing with smears, etc would not take all that many people to start. We are better than they are too, if following politics has taught me anything it's just how dumb, arrogant, and corrupt the ones leading us are. They aren't better at all, their people aren't better. We are.
