i’d like to see at least a half dozen, or more, of our best and brightest throw their hats in the ring now.
declare, raise money, and spout off in every forum out there.

steal the fucker’s spotlight.

1. Spot on! I think that's the path

[WarGamer]

2. agreed...

[Bettie]

3. The news, the media

Is owned by right wing oligarchs.

They won't cover a sane Democrat running for office.....and Democrats won't vote for a lunatic.

[mopinko]

4. if they're a declared candidate for prez, they sorta have to, is my point.

not that they’ll b nice to them.
but they do have to report something.

[Bettie]

6. Maybe or they'll just ignore them

as if they do not exist.

Depends on what Orange Hitler tells them to do.

[mopinko]

7. if that's true, there is no way forward.

since that’s the purpose of this forum…

[Bettie]

9. You have more confidence in

the media than I do.

Some of the MSNBC hosts will cover them. Whether that's preaching to the choir or not ....who knows?

[mopinko]

10. i didnt say that. i see it more as a boon to our alt media.

the best we can hope for from msm is some name recognition.
it’s hard to figure how bad they will b. but if they give a fig for appearances, they’ll cover it. badly, fersher, but hopefully they’ll spell their names rt.

5. Agree,

Early announced Democratic candidates will be negatively branded by the media.

[mopinko]

8. it's not about a winning campaign for a particular candidate.

it’s about demanding the spotlight. if msm wont give us theirs, it will b a focus for alt media.
prez candidates on their platform will boost them too.

11. Attention, Attention, Attention

I agree with your premise. The game right now is snatching attention from Agent Orange and his minions. We need to reclaim the oxygen in the room, push back hard and repeat at every opportunity. Every misstep, every promise not delivered, every disaster coming down the road should be amplified again and again. Presidential candidates with performative skills could help deliver the rude awakening, attract media attention while throwing sand into the gears of this tech-bro coup in progress.

Obstruct. Delay. Agitate. Inform.

It's not over until it's over.
