  • I like the Nextcloud suggestion.

    Still if you’re open to hosting or can find hosting service, then Odoo Community could work. It’s a ERP/CRM suite with several useful modules, including:

    • Discuss (Slack-like messaging with file attachments)
    • Calendar, To-Do, and Project for task management
    • Website & eLearning modules for additional functionality

    Its unfortunate that some modules & features are withheld for selling people on Enterprise. Could be soltuion to look into but is proably overkill. Similar to Odoo, ERPNext doesn’t do feature lockout but I don’t know if they have similar modules or not.


  • Have you considered just having like a local group organized around something like pro-labor or just the community in general.

    Elect officers or organize how you think best. Call meeting invite guess to speak to issues you all like. When elections come around try to solicit questions to all the campaigns. Have the organization vote as a group on who to endorse or not at all.

    If it’s worth the effort, work the campaigns for the folks you all endorse.

    More people did that stuff then starting a third party in state would be easy. From there you go forward. If you do well or brand then you may have others in their region wanting to do the same. National two parties are federations of these groups with more binding Charters.

    Many States have these hurdles for recognized political parties but they can’t stop folks from just organizing how they want.









  • I’d argue it’s not that horseshoe works in rhetoric but voting patterns. Both “extremes” of “the horseshoe” end up being moralistic and favor dismantling the system.

    They may say oppression is bad from the far-left but at the same time when voting that oppression might just mean globally to them and not to the domestic matters.

    The blame can be shared and probably where the horseshoe fails.
