    Grassroots campaigns for small local government positions building gradual power for progressives to replace them. Do your part.

      ok, you win! this is by far the smartest response. everyone else is like lets tear shit down without an actual plan of replacing at the same scale.

        I live in Oakland, California. Our recently-former mayor was just charged with corruption for taking bribes to get into office by promising contracts to moneyed interests. I’d sure like a Bernie type of person in charge of my city.

        Is CA deeply progressive? Sorta; it’s viewed that way by a lot of people. Our AG is one of the ones fighting the Trump admin. Are we fucked regardless? I’d say yes. Your comment displays a lack of awareness of how bad things are.
