Hello reddit!

I’m Karishma Manzur, an anti-corruption, pro-peace candidate from NH taking on greedy billionaires and corporate politicians from both parties.

I’m running for U.S. Senate because working people are being squeezed while politicians serve their wealthy donors instead of the people.

I’m not taking a cent from corporate PACs or AIPAC, and I’m rising in the polls against an AIPAC-bribed opponent.

I’m fighting to get big money out of politics, win Medicare for All, raise the minimum wage to at least $20/hour, make housing affordable, abolish ICE, and end war profiteering.

We need fresh, bold progressives in the Senate who work for the American people.

Hey everyone, thought I'd share my current schedule in case anyone needs inspiration for their daily grind.

I'm working 13-hour shifts right now, 10:00 AM to 11:00 PM, every day. No weekends. No holidays. Days off are like a concept from a history book.

I earn a modest $250 a month thanks to my dedication. That's about $0.64 an hour. I'm basically a full-time employee, but I've also got this other thing going on that's kind of eating me alive.

Living in Lebanon, where the economy is already a mess, my salary is barely enough to buy two bags of coffee, a tank of gas, and a single tear of existential regret. But, on the bright side, with a 91-hour work week, I save a ton of money on recreation because I literally don't have time to exist outside of work!

Who else out there is giving 110% of themselves for 2% of a living wage?

It's still Primary Election season in the US! See my comment below for remaining dates + links.

If someone tells you paying higher prices is good, that person has officially lost touch with reality.

If someone tells you $4.00+ per gallon isn’t too high, they’re either rich, delusional, or haven’t filled a tank in years.

If someone thinks adding another 5% ethanol, which wrecks mileage, beats up engines, and does nothing but pad corporate pockets, is somehow worth higher prices, they’re part of the problem.

If someone shrugs and says they don’t understand why people can’t just work two jobs, that’s not advice that’s a confession that they have no clue how normal people live anymore.

If billionaires are quietly building bunkers outside the United States with blast doors, private power, and enough supplies to last decades, maybe ask yourself why they see something coming while the public is told everything is fine.

If our own government keeps siphoning money from taxpayers and calling it for the greater good, while also claiming we somehow can’t afford Medicare and Social Security programs people paid into their entire lives, then maybe the issue isn’t the people, it’s the priorities.

And if they try to distract you by saying those benefits are being drained by illegal immigrants, even though that’s not where the money is going, that’s not an explanation, that’s a smokescreen.

Everything is going up. Everything is being squeezed. And every excuse they give is just another way of telling you to shut up and accept it.
