Or you could just primary these old bastards. That's how AOC got her seat. Many of them run unopposed.

It costs so much money. AOC is so good with grassroots finding from her social media use. She's an outlier. So many good candidates just can't get the foothold they need to effectively primary a well known senator or congressperson

Honestly, maybe more bartenders should run. Built in marketing and community in the service industry. Lots of underused humanities degrees too.

Not everyone will win. But some will. This is the only path towards change. Getting them out. The Republicans are fascists and the Dems serve the same masters. Not trying keeps us where we are now.

That's what AOC said in Knock Down The House: "For one of us to get through, a hundred of us have to try."
