It’s only June and I’m already sick of politicking. It’s gonna be a long, long year and a half.
I’m tired of the ‘give me money’ and ‘bad big corporations’ and ‘random thing you think so of course you have to vote for me’ nonsense… and it’s only June!
Every single one of the candidates throwing themselves out there is doing it WRONG. I don’t want to hear about how we need to break up Facebook/Google/Amazon/Walmart or build a wall or whatever slogan of the minute we’ve got going right now. I don’t care to hear about your ten point plan that doesn’t include me or the people I care about. I don’t want to hear about how great you are.
Show me.
I want to see someone build an app that shows me how I can feed a family of four in my local area without shopping at Walmart.
I want a hotline to help connect people to careers and support structures that they may not have thought of, and I want to share that number everywhere I can think of so no one has to accept a job at Walmart.
I want an app that lets me donate food that my family won’t be using to people that can.
I want a set of online classes to learn about what I can realistically do to offer support to the causes I care about.
I want to know more about how to build a tiny library or pantry to help my immediate community in need in a real and tangible way.
Use your campaign donations to do all of that, and you’ve got my vote… because you’ve shown me you truly care about people and want to make the little differences that mean big differences.
