I like ballotpedia.org but am very open to other resources or suggestions for how to get good info. Honestly half the reason I’m posting this is to start a solid thread of resources.

Whatever other affiliations or beliefs you have, I’m pretty sure we can all agree that we’re not getting them out by starting at a national level. We need to get people back into talking about politics that don’t involve Trump or Biden and people suck and are also just very depressed right now so we need to make it easy.

So today’s social health challenge is to find a local candidate to start namedropping online or in person at least once or twice a week for the next six months. Encourage others to do the same. Get people talking about literally anyone third party. I don’t even care if they’re even actually a good candidate or whatever just stop letting them make the conversation about Trump and Biden!

    I agree, but evidently you need to put local in bold because it’s never what people are thinking about in these nonlocal forums. But that’s where third parties will come from unless it’s some celebrity case, who will most likely coopt an existing party, resulting in the same two party system and a dramatically shifted politics that leaves half the country without ideological representation.
