Granted it was just to the council of a small city, and granted it wasn’t by the greatest of margins, but enough people liked my brick blunt pitch for more accessibility and advocacy.

The more I deal with the actual mechanics of politics the more I realize it is ‘vibes’ based for most people. Also, whilst almost everyone you meet tells you they want politicians to be more honest, when you are 100% honest with them they tend to get scared and/or angry and say things like “Don’t ever say that to anyone else”, or “You can’t say things like that!” which is weird seeing I’m usually quoting basic things like census data, or things that are a matter of public record that anyone could confirm themselves in less than 10 minutes.
