The Green Party leader has hired a GOP consulting firm and worked with Trump-affiliated lawyers.
Thanks so much! I’ve voted WFP in the past and there are definitely candidates running as WFP now that will get my vote. Of course they’re branded as “radical leftists” and they are getting my vote. I don’t know when feeding a hungry child and spending money for decent homes and quality healthcare for our own people instead of blowing up other people and policing the whole world became radical, but it’s time to normalize it.
It seriously is…
And what I like about WFP specifically is they smartly target, where they don’t have ballot access they collaborate, where they risk a loss to the right wing they move their support to the furthest left they can (which, lets be candid, is still centrist for most of the Democrats).
I’m excited today because I had no idea they were even running candidates in my area, because they were running on the Democrat ticket (they don’t have ballot access here just yet, still too new). They are the kind of 3rd party I get behind, because that strategy is crucial. We need more social programs in the US. I make my kids lunch every day. I also put more in there than I know she will eat, because I know there are kids on assistance (its nearly doubled in the past year in our school district), and while those kids get free lunch… the ones who are just above the line to be eligible don’t. Which is why I push for free lunches for all (even though I’m still going to do homemade lunches).
Why is feeding kids “radical” to these idiots? I will never understand them. Don’t want to. Going to see if I can help WFP in some way, unfortunately can’t do the canvassing efforts, but maybe I can help in a different way in the meantime. I’d love to get the republican rep we have out.
For anyone interested, here is a list of Working Families Party candidates.
I think our friends and neighbors who are opposed to feeding a person who is hungry, despite the reasons, are coming from a scarcity mindset, and politicians don’t really do much to discourage that, rather they stoke it. The earth is abundant, and there is plenty for everyone on it. It’s a matter of not pouring out milk, smashing eggs, letting grain rot, letting crops rot in fields to keep prices artificially high, and logistics. That’s all.
