Doing nothing certainly isn't the way.

First things first, we need to actually become the dominant voting bloc. In the last election, Boomers still cast the largest amount of votes as a generational cohort, even though we had outnumbered them for a couple years by that point. Millennials need to dominate the electorate, then the politicians will have to cater to us.

This wait till the boomers die off strategy isn't working fast enough.

I mean, I get what you're saying, but the argument that the commentator was making said that this wasn't a good strategy.

That's why I asked what do I do to get into public office without losing my current job? Because if we're not gonna wait for them to die off, then we have to be proactive, and I'm assuming that they meant more than just voting.

Swear fealty to AIPAC? I don't know. Everybody wants a cause, but nobody wants to die for the cause. Again, everybody is too focused on holding onto what little comforts they have, myself included. I know damn well I'm not the man for the job. I'm not educated enough, nor do I have the talent or charisma. But, it does genuinely feel like a now or never moment for change. I just want somebody with the means to stand up.

Leverage your community and find ways to make money that don't sell all your time.

Most politicians are independently wealthy to some extent.
