I signed up on the first website, still haven't heard anything. Anyone know who I should contact to follow up?

We need to inspire people.
This. Exactly this. Non-conservatives haven't had anyone to vote for for years, only people to vote against. Biden was anyone other than Trump. They thought that would work for Kamala, but here we are.
Related, when I tried to volunteer for the dems, all they wanted to do was have me make phone calls. I think in got an invite to knock doors like 2 days before the election. I tried to contact people several times to see how I could help energize the base or make sure people were registered and ready to vote. They kept asking me to make calls and send money. Now people like me are going to be directly hurt by these policies, the only question is how much.
Those are the democratic party elite. We can no more remove them than remove one's own head.
I'm a nurse with 2 degrees- I'll be an asset anywhere I go. Or I can go back to bartending - I make a mean Hot Toddy.
Our party? Democrats are no more my party than Republicans are. They are objectively the better option for someone like me given the alternative, but in no way do they represent me. They are just another element of the capitalist corporate hegemony, and I'm just a consumer to them.
Seems a lot harder to get across the ocean than into Canada, but I will take any viable option at this point.
I'm in Minnesota, if you can make it up here I'll take you with me.
How do I request asylum in a country that doesn't want to erase trans people?
Sealab was such a good show. A Star Trek remake (with Shatner as Kirk) would be so good.
What wonderful, flippant advice. Thanks, I'm not lonely anymore!
I've been struggling like usual. Trying to meet some people so I'm not always alone, but wow, some of the folks I'm meeting are exhausting to be around.
It's been a long time since I've had a friend I can just hang out with and feel like it's not work.
I studied politics, and even then I never wanted to run. I just wanted to be a staffer and work on policy and tactics.
I left politics because I felt I couldn't help people, and inter party politics were not something I was interested in. I went back to school so I could help people more directly as a nurse.
I don't think I'm a great candidate, but I feel like I have to do something. No one is coming to save us, we have to so it ourselves.
