Mad at current candidates?! Join your local org; make better candidates. Protest by becoming a delegate instead.
Red or blue or green – more of us involved at the lower levels means more representation at ‘the top’. (at least Democratic; I don’t know how the republican party works)
If we are staring down the barrel of a Gavin Newsom presidential run, and we all think that’s a terrible idea (right?), we still have ability to push for and find better candidates by being part of the local precincts, who send delegates eventually to the national committee.
Where do you think those ‘super delegates’ come from, who is helping pick how to spend DNC advert money? The people who elect DNC leadership came from precincts.

Yes, the time to protest in this manner is before the final candidates are chosen, not at the time of the actual election!
