We need stealth candidates

No not democrats that are repukes.These parasites have snuck in so many school board members,small town mayors and city council members that no one saw it coming.In a way voting for the little elections can jump start democracy.
I have no clues how to do this but we better start soon.

Candidates that can talk to Republicans about Democratic ideals using Republican lingo....and make them understand that Democratic ideals are American ideals that they are due...because that what America is about.

We need candidates that can deconstruct the propaganda that Republicans spout and replace it with common sense simple straight forward language that even Republicans can understand.

What a great choice John Kerry was :eyes:

and will be the breeding grounds of future candidates for higher offices.

It's sad but true that when Democrats run on their ideas in the non-partisan local offices, they can win. But when they run for the legislature or state-wide office, they get creamed.

The entire state has pretty much drunk the Kool Aid that nothing matters but keeping my taxes low. No matter what.

North Dakota is as much a one-party state as North Korea or Cuba in political practice, without the overt prosecution. Here, the prosecution is much more subtle, and applied in advance of political activity (boss, parnters, customers, etc. put the kibosh on anyone considering running for the legislature, for example).
