We Seriously Need to Stop With This Presidential Shit

[RevolutionToday]

This is a message to all leftists, be they democratic, progressives, socialists, etc. Stop focusing on electing presidential candidates and start electing populist leftists in your communities. If your city is controlled by a Democratic or Republican machine that is fucking corrupt as hell and voting is at large, pass a district voting referendum and put populist leftists into office. A lot of fucking hard work I know but it is the only way.

1. Why can't we do both?

Some of us can multitask.

2. I find it easy enough to do both

electing a Democratic President is important enough that I can easily spend a fair bit of time and money on it. I really don't mind if my candidate isn't the winner either, I'll do anything I can to keep a puke out of the executive office in 2009.

3. no matter who wins the presidency

we need a new congress, that part is clear
