I notice when I post about a problem it gets attention. But when I post about candidates who would fix the problem, not so much. And that's a problem. Electoral politics isn't everything but it can't be left out of the equation if we really want to solve the problems of the world

Ever thought that maybe the politicians your vouching for are the problem?
Replying to @marwilliamson
You are very right because that would be to really get involved with politics

@marwilliamson you have such a large platform, you could push for ballot measures in every state that has a process, and get the policies you ran on, in the ballot in 2022 for citizens to vote on. I’m sure you could build a nationwide network to push progressive ballot measures.

The process most use to vote for a candidate it no different than the one used to elect a prom king/queen.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Could be the party you are promoting has a history and policies that have caused many of the problems they now say they will fix.

People only think they know what others think. They don't know that they are the majority. Prob Solutions: Online gather opinions with SEPARATE reasons & facts (to show diff) Get FEC to require states submit votes in automated, ranked choice, email format - all year long.👀

I don’t know whether it’s unfortunate or not but I do believe it applies to so many things. When I post LOVE in all caps on social media I get six or eight likes. When I post F**K! in all caps I get 130 likes.

Problems affect everyone. Aren't the people you're talking about local?

Politics can't solve problems. Government effs up everything it touches.

I have to tell you, I'm getting sick of AOC constantly telling us to mobilize, call our leaders, etc. But, how about she and her colleagues do their job and force the vote. They need to learn how to play politics. I do my job, they should do theirs.
