How To Become A Great Politician

[@Devi_Vaddadi]

Decided to run in 2026 (possibly 2028 depending on how much I can raise for my campaign) in my district. I’m 28 now and a regular citizen but I’m listening to people like you so I can focus on what I need to do rather than what I’m missing or don’t have.

The reality of everything you talk about is rooted in identity-it's either genuine or not. So, how do I cultivate my environment to attract people who share the same values, but aren't "yes men"? I need people who carry the same amount of passion for their respective fields and can provide the necessary support to bring about disruption. Because, just to be transparent, a sense of genuine community in today's world is not tangible.

@@jaytownsend22I do get involved. The reality of those environments is that the divide is so great, and my life experiences and work demand that we address certain parts of the conversation that my party sees no need to have. The awareness and compassion we communicate, rooted in our faith, are not genuine from my observations or simply show a lack of awareness of the bigger picture of people’s lives and the crucial role they play in the system. What’s difficult is understanding the role of having conversations for the betterment of the party, and neither party in my state is having the conversations the community feels are important, nor do they see the need for them. Alternatively, they take conversations to the extreme, leading to assumptions and us being spoon-fed by the system. I feel we are too easily offended or passionate in these conversations, so we aren’t listening to understand their intentions. This is stunting innovative and effective collaboration among people, not parties. But this could be just my lack of experience in “the game of politics.” Any insight is appreciated! I persevere in this environment because the need is great, and I wait for a moment to effectively and respectfully disrupt the system when my voice can be applied. This also drives me in my day-to-day work to ensure that when my voice is heard, there is a resume that shows I am not just yapping. I appreciate the content you create for us young folk who are trying to strategically approach a career in this conversation.

Hi Jay, I’m a political science student graduating next year. What would you suggest that I do to get into working on campaigns, either as a consultant at a firm, or a direct hire by a party? I’ve started volunteering with local candidates and have been trying to make genuine connections. Is there other things I should be doing as well?

[@jaytownsend22]

You are on the right track. Help candidates you like and excel in whatever you do. The more time you spend with the candidate the better. Along the way find a way to meet influential party leaders and the consultants they hire. As you make friends, work hard at keeping them.

@@jaytownsend22this makes sense. Thanks 🙏

[@awesomelegobatman]

You worked with Birch Bayh? The 1980 senate election was lost in Indiana, and Dan Quayle the clown somehow won, but at least Mr. Bayh kept his values.

[@jaytownsend22]

Yes. You have a good memory of Indiana history. Jay

[@dannyjones3689]

My question is how to become one

[@jaytownsend22]

You must win an election first. Then you must lead. The traits I mentioned will make you a great politician. There is a link underneath the video. How to Win an Election.
