donating to Mike Gravel’s 2020 campaign run by high schoolers was my best life choice

here’s the link to donate

the goal is to have the former senator participating in the debates to force the democratic establishment more left

if they fall short of the 65,000 unique donors they need to be invited to the debate proceeds will go to helping Flint, Michigan

That account, along with his whole campaign, is the work of three teenagers. 

From the article:

“These young students contacted me a week ago asking would I run for president and I responded to them saying, ‘Do you realize how old I am?’” Gravel told The Washington Post. “I’ll be 89 years old in May, so it’s preposterous to think that I could serve as president.”

It took some convincing, but Gravel was ultimately persuaded by a three-page strategy memo that the students drafted and their assurance that they would handle all of the day-to-day work of the campaign. Their ultimate goal wasn’t to win the election but rather to qualify him for the Democratic debates, so that he could use that platform to “issue a critique of American militarism, plutocracy, and inaction on climate,” as his newly-created website states.

“These people weren’t just whistling Dixie,” Gravel said. “They were well-grounded.”
