For years it’s been the tendency of the Left to get involved with hot and adrenaline-laced presidential campaigns but not so much down ballot races. Yet the philosophical struggle between whether people or corporations should run this country is waged in local & state elections

What the f*ck are you talking about? The left is always running down ballot local candidates, we just run into establishment Democrats & GOP that get millions from the party to run against us. Cable TV has a much broader reach into dem & gop voter bases.

What I’m talking about is the fact that Republicans have been much better over the last few decades at focusing on down ballot races. Not as candidates but as voters. It’s simply a fact.

I would think the opposite is true given the work of community organizers and ballot harvesters.

The left doesn’t want to elevate people in my experience; they don’t like corporations but they want rulership by an elite expert class instead.

This is by design to keep the people from having any real impact.
