    The answer to obstruction at every level of government is to push back at every level of government then.

    That means getting involved in local government. You. Me. Us. All of us. Starting now.

      I’m nearly pissed off enough to try and run for local office myself now and I hope others also feel that drive.

      Only reason I haven’t done it is because I’m a nobody retail worker with no money. I can’t afford to upend my life to go campaign. And I feel that a lot of other people are in a similar boat. But I also feel that the last hundred years of American politicians have been so far up their own asses that having a regular everyman in office like myself can’t possibly be worse.

      We should be able to take out a business loan or something to run for office. But also we shouldn’t have to do that.

        TBH I would love to vote for a regular working class citizen and would gladly contribute to the local candidate that has values I agree with.

        Can only imagine there are others willing to pitch in.
