I've seen this go by a few times on TikTok now and I have to say, I love this idea. We need a way to convince people to keep running even if they don't win, maybe building the loss into it as a troll move is the secret.

Well, we have a seven person board of education filled with folks left of center... but a supermajority can't do the job and it's created an actual serious problem, so...

We were a reasonably left board before, but we weren't getting the County seriously threatening to take us over. In a decently large place you gotta be able to find someone with ideological bona fides who can actually do the job.

I had to get on zoom with my 19 year old niece last year and explain why their first time voting involved almost no races they could pick a candidate in. It was honestly really demoralizing for them! Even if a D would have 100% definitely lost, they would have felt more engaged!
