How to run for political office in the future?

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

The fact that you want to run for running's sake and think a degree is constitutionally mandated to get on the ballot is enough to prove that you probably shouldn't run. If you supported Trump, then you'd know that part of the problem with American politics is the rise of professional politicians, not civilian officeholders.

That is part of the reason why I myself am giving up on becoming a political operative and am rebooting myself towards a career involved with the grassroots and commentary. I just can't stomach it anymore. I can't stomach the people who four years ago were my heroes when I worked with them on that congressional race I've posted a billion times about. It's soul crushing and if left unchecked, is soul corrupting.
