To everyone in Massachusetts: If you don't know this already, Alex Rikleen is probably the candidate you actually want for senate! If you, like me, have felt stuck between a rock and a hard place because Markey is way too old and Moulton is a centrist corporate sellout, Rikleen is literally the solution. He's truly left-of-center (like he's calling what's happening in Palestine a genocide and all his stated policies are liberal) but he's like 40(?) instead of being an octogenarian who shouldn't even be allowed to drive anymore. The problem is that the Big Money that wants Moulton to replace Markey so they have more control over our state has also been getting their grubby fingers in the media, so Rikleen has been fighting like hell but is barely getting any coverage at all.
They want us to feel like it's Markey vs. Moulton and push us to vote in Moulton, but Rikleen is very much a viable option. I just talked to him and he told me there was just a poll that showed that, even though only like 15% of people in the state have heard of him, half of everyone who has would like to vote for him, which is insanely huge. He could win this yet, if the delegates know to consider him as an option and if people start talking about him so he can't keep getting relegated to the side and silenced. This is literally our chance to vote for a candidate we actually want instead of picking between the two options the billionaires backing the party want to force us to choose from, so take it! I encourage you to do your own research, reach out to him, whatever you want but do consider Alex Rikleen as a candidate and, positive or negative, talk about him!
