As throwing money at Marjorie Taylor Greene's opponent. That district ain't going to budge. Yes it's important to build poltical infrastructure everywhere and make sure that all people have a meaningful choice on the ballot. Just be aware that THAT is what you ought to be funding. Don't be entertaining fantasies of actually taking out nuts like Greene or Gates without serious investment over time. Like decades.

Not really the same, sorry. Nixie Oct 2021 #58

Antagonistic people aren't allowed here either, but they are here SunImp Oct 2021 #60
