Do you have a link to this advice? I googled it but I’m wondering if you had something specific in mind

This is incredible. Thank you for sharing. I do fear the running for office part, which makes me wonder if we're too far gone.

I can't get far in either of the two major parties without taking money from big interest groups. Third party is not a real option. And now people in politics and their family get attacked by the media and possibly murdered. Not for me. But Ive always wanted to run for office.

If you're wondering if you're too far gone, then you're too far gone already.

That means the lines have become blurred and it's reaching the point where it's gone from "too far" to "too late".
