Do you all get involved in your local elections?

[rbksNgirbauds]

I've never in my life paid attention to politics and I'm not gonna give a fukk come the presidential election either, so it's not about set tripping like I seen alot of in 2020, wit ya scary asses.....but I do feel like I'm at the very least supposed to be paying attention to shyt that's goin on in my city on a local level , sheesh .

So wat do y'all do, just start watching the local news or some shyt? CSPAN channel? Idk man

Yeah local politics affects your day to day life more than federal. Your local politicians are who eventually become bigger politicians. Starts from the ground up.

 

[TheKongoEmpire]

I'm one of those I-don't-vote negroes.

 

[RickyDiBiase]

Nothing more cut throat than local politics. Btw thats where all your peoples who are legit business owners/property owners bump elbows.

ALL of em are on that, cause that’s how you really flex

 

[Damba]

I do, but we need to do better on presidential elections.

I helped a local politician become a state assemblyman just recently

 

[Heafcliffe]

Yes esp as I've matured and acquired property and land.

Yeah, local stuff usually has a direct impact on how much is withheld from your paycheck with local taxes. and can even affect local businesses directly.
They ask you to vote for bills like, should we increase taxes to pay for this assisted living community in the white part of town?
I'm like nope, fukk them seniors
They ask, should we raise taxes to pay for this school you didn't go to, to get a new football field?
i'm like nope, fukk them kids
they ask, should this black owned club be approved for a liquor license?
i'm like sure, why not?

[Luke Cage]

[MajesticLion]

Go to random zoning board meetings.
Go to random school board meetings.
Go to random city council meetings.
Meet people, listen more than you talk, don't be afraid to ask questions.
Decline all invitations to "come volunteer" for anything until you're familiar with who's who and you're certain of any move you want to make.


Best way to see how the nuts and bolts all work.
