This is an opinion piece I stumbled upon recently and felt the need to shout about it from the rooftops. I don't claim to know how feasible something like this would be but raising what is essentially a reverse Tea Party that is forwarded by progressives and activists seems really interesting and a potentially legal way for the average US citizen to have a larger voice.
If progressives hope to have any shot at influencing today’s Democratic Party and kicking out the corporate sellout Democrats and replacing them with real-deal progressives, then we need to get to work right now to do exactly what the Tea Party did a decade and a half ago to take power.<
Would it be feasible to organize groups that could support people into the position proposed by the article?
It’s Precinct Committee Persons who elect district, county, and state party officials and delegates, who choose primary nominees that then go on to hold elected office, and who help draft a party’s platform. <
They’re also generally the first people who elected officials meet with when they come back into the district. And those officials listen carefully to what Precinct Committee persons have to say. <
I'm tired of seeing my country being bent over by the Heritage Foundation and the Tea Party. Let's fight some fire with fire and cause a shift in the Democratic party, we have too many democratic representatives that aren't really representing anything. If it seems feasible, I encourage people to start forming groups to support people interested in becoming apart of their local government. We need to protect democracy and I believe this could be a great way to do so.
