And no one is going to contribute to a loser.
Let me find what I wrote... hang on.
we are used to big donors
A grassroots movement is a better 1st step.
but increasingly small donors are becoming popular
Pick particular targets for pressure like universities.
No political party has ever been founded in the information age we live in
that too
If planned well, the party could take over on Social Media and spread quickly
This is what I wrote if I was running as a candidate for senator for my state.
I am going to post it now, don't get mad.
Strong Constitutionalist Independent With Right Leaning
Open Minded When it Comes to Solutions (Flexible)
Domestic Issues:
Revitalizing Our Forgotten Towns (Stop Decay)
Repave All Roads In Oklahoma (Fix Infrastructures, More Jobs)
Encourage Business To Move Here (More Jobs)
Better Spending And Budgeting In State (Stop Over budgets and Delays)
State Elections:
Make It Vital to Have Voter I.D. to Prove Your a Citizens (Don't Want Foreign Interference In Elections)
Only Legal Immigrants Who Been Here For More Than 7 Years Can Vote (Precaution From Foreign Interference)
Immigration:
Campaign In Congress To Streamline Our Immigration System For Legal Immigrants (No More Excuses About It Being Hard)
Encourage Foreign Transfer Students in Our College to Legally Immigrate to Oklahoma! (No Overstay Visas, Become a Citizen)
Discourage Any Illegal Immigrants From Coming to OKlahoma (Oklahoma Citizens Come First)
Schooling:
Increase Funding in Schools, Get Better Text Books That Do Not Have an Bias Slant (I Want to Give the Tools for Students to Succeed, Not Create Sheeps For Politicians)
Encourage Important Figures to Come To Our Schools, Regardless What Political Ideology They Are From (Better Them to Be Exposed to Diversity of Ideas Than to be Closed To No New Ideas)
I Want Our State's Colleges to Get A Major Overhaul, Implant the Best Teaching Methods If I Can For Our Students (No More Political Slants)
Only way to crush bad ideas is to give them a platform, they will crush themselves with their terrible ideas. My platform would only change if there is new issues to handle or if my ideas prove to be unfruitful, I will look for another way to fix issue. I am willing to be flexible when it comes to solutions to fixing our state. That is how I would be if I was running...
Or create a network that brings up particular issues or companies to encourage certain behaviors.
yea being in the information age may give the founding of a new party a head start
i think the IDW would be a valuable asset
You will inevitably get problems, especially with schooling bills
I wonder if Tim is aware that there are actually people planning to potentially start a new political party on his Discord server
For example, North Carolina almost passed a bill funding their schools for a decade
@Dusty Morgan Funding issues for 1. You'd have to raise taxes or something for the roads.
Also, "Get better textbooks that do not have a bias slant" will be immdiately decried as Fascisim.
Then democrats added an amendement that applied gun control across the state to the bill
lol i mean i have unironically been writing up a platform sooooooo
What, I want history and nothing but history. I don't want any political bias in history class.
So for me trying to make things better for my citizens would get me skewered alive?
Following this they had a sit in at the NC capitol with juice boxes
you will never satisfy everyone
just know that going in
It's impossible to satisfy everyone
The goal is to find a solid base and stick to them while appealing to moderates
I want to give them choices, the tools, and the ability to better thanselves aka equal opportunity.
Dont disallow the press and act like everything you say will end up on the nightly news
END THE TEXTBOOK MONOPLY
sorry
had to
Dont say equal opportunity
Youll go down a bad road very quickly
How?
It's better to appeal to the political center for 2 reasons, as I see things:
1. You get more support if you appeal to the political center
2. Your policies are more balanced if you appeal to the political center
There may be other positives, but I haven't thought of them
*Sighs.* Equal opportunity allows for people the chance to pull themselves out of poverty and earn the life they want to live.
Why is that a bad thing?
Because it will be twisted into something its not
