New Dawn, New Political Party - Lemmy.World

I’m taking all comers here. I’m setting this up, but I don’t necessarily want to run the show. I have no idea how to run a political party, and I’m not even sure how to campaign, get on ballots, get coverage or anything like that. But I’m tired of the rich shitting on us, and it’s time we shat back. First and Foremost, this is just our lemmy community. Soon, I’m going to want to set up a website, get registered with whatever body we need to register with, and start ballot initiatives and field candidates wherever we can. Let’s fucking go.

Have you looked at all 53 ballot-qualified political parties in the US and decided that none of them meet your needs? It’d be far easier to work with one that already has most of the basic work done that taking an NIH approach and building up a new one from scratch.

You jump almost immediately into fundraising after stating exactly one vaguely defined plank (“fuck the rich!”), which makes me a tad suspicious about your motives. No offense. Note Occupy Wall Street was essentially “fuck the rich,” and they’re more or less still around - again, working with people who’ve already started down this path is going to save a lot of work and probably be more successful than trying to start a party in Lemmy.

Define rich. Because to someone making $10 an hour, the rich could be someone making $40 an hour.
