I’m taking all comers here. I’m setting this up, but I don’t necessarily want to run the show. I have no idea how to run a political party, and I’m not even sure how to campaign, get on ballots, get coverage or anything like that.
But I’m tired of the rich shitting on us, and it’s time we shat back.
First and Foremost, this is just our lemmy community. Soon, I’m going to want to set up a website, get registered with whatever body we need to register with, and start ballot initiatives and field candidates wherever we can.
Let’s fucking go.
After seeing some of the initial input, I really think we need to keep the exact vibe you started with in that first post in the other community.
Keep it so simple.
Shit back!
Nothing more complex than that.
Look at recent history that led to the MAGA takeover. Talk radio kept a constant drumbeat of emotion going and it seeped into the general awareness. They kept policy discussions inside their little think tanks (like Heritage Foundation and Project 2025).
Movements run on emotion first and foremost. Policy wonks are important but they are not put up front.
It’s all about the feels. Feels are the raw potential that powers the policy changes.
We are the shit-backers!
