Unironically yes, unless you are bound against it by your party membership, hexbearians absolutely should do electoral politics. Run for state or local office, school board, water board whatever....

badposting is a comm where you post badly
This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.
Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?
Rules:
- Do not post good posts.
- Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
- Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
- This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
- This rule intentionally left blank.
- If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.
Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

Haha! You fell for my ruse! It was a sincere post cloaked with irony! Thanks for your input!
I realized I’ve been over the minimum age for a bit lol so fuck it why not. Better than whatever milquetoast liberal or foaming fascist right? There’s a house I drive past occasionally that was vacant, windows smashed, and covered in spray paint “Commie” (and much less pleasant things) for the longest time. Always sticks out, but whatever still less of a risk than many comrades face daily just for existing
Far better, by browsing this site you are already are well prepare for task, even if you don't win a race you'll building the foundation for a future campaigns.
I tried running a campaign based on (unbeknownst) leftist principles a dozen years ago at my respective “boys state”. I got absolutely bodied by a guy whose shtick was “the rapping Jew” (his words). I get the impression that could happen again at a broader scale lol.
yes
It seems like I’ve got about a year before filing wraps. This is gonna sound wild - but i kind of feel like with the current administration (or just in general?) there are a few things in my favor:
- have the same last name as the incumbent
- could channel some kind of persona to build a good kayfabe against the current administration
- I’ve got an idea where I’ll work a day for you, and you can take the day off. I’ve worked a ton of bullshit jobs, I don’t even care if you vote for me, I just want you to enjoy the day off that the ruling class will never give you
