You are tonight's winner ( well you and the Democrats in Kentucky and Virginia). While I don't agree, you make a  point that everyone can consider and decide for themselves. Thank you.   And good luck in running? California?  No Carolina?

I am really debating on running for NC State Senate in a district that was flipped last election by a couple thousand votes. I am seriously considering it because the guy the party wants to run is a lacky that's a few years younger than I but hasn't really had a job at all, instead he runs a Golf magazine.

 

This county's Republican party is very much ran by old men and need some fresh blood by guys like me. I have tried and tried to talk to them about recruitment of younger people at festivals like Greensboro Pride and a  couple other Millenial oriented festivals in the city. But the county didn't want anything to do with it no many how many times I have persisted about it. I mean the dang Green,, Democrat, and Libertarian parties had recruitment tents at this festival but no Republican tent at all. It is really frustrating because I know many people that would just need a nudge to swing to the republican side. 

 

Edit. I know it sounds like I am pissed because I am. I contacted both Congressional reps to no avail and they pawned it off on the county GOP. When I talked to the county they intially sounded ok with it but then crickets afterwards.

I think you have the right idea, your country is changing: younger, more urban and more racially diverse. I assume NC is doing the same. Some are predicting a huge shift in the next election that may force their old men to rethink their strategy or Republicans may loose an entire generation.

 

They would be wise to listen to you. And you are a vet! It's too bad it is hard to run as a conservative Democrat.

Once again, I answered your post, but you provided no repartee to mine.  Sorry if the facts get in the way.

I think you have something of a gift for free verse, ALFKAD. Like another Allen Ginsberg, almost.

While I'd like to take credit,  simply quoting AOC does not mean I am deserving of any literary awards.

When Congresswoman Occasional-Cortex speaks, everybody becomes stoopider.

This part of NC is changing slower than say Raleigh or Charlotte but we are still the 3rd largest city in the state. The state as a whole is growing exponentially because people are fleeing the NE and coming here.

 

My big issue is that they talk a good game of recruitment but don't do ####### about it to get more people like me out stomp for them. I am more Conservative on a lot of my views but still relatively mainstream on others which is very typical for many many people. But the County party is still very much stuck in their ways which will hurt them in the short and long run election wise. That is why the local senate seat got flipped last year because she didn't campaign in places she should have and lost by a few thousand votes. I think I would do good honestly because I am a wounded Combat Vet, and family man (4 kids) with a Asian wife in a town that has a large Asian population as well. While the Republican I would face is a young single guy, and the Democrat is a former Wall Street banker. 

 

But state politics is better to help control local and state issues which matter more to me than National ones. 

 

 

Edit: I would like to if I had the chance to sign on and be a Blue Dog Democrat which is a Conservative Democrat if I could honestly if I wanted to run for Congress. But you know Centrist Democrats aren't getting a lot of love these days.
