Jasmine Sherman
Jasmine Sherman thinks they are the right kind of petty to change the narrative and the direction this country is going. A more current phrase may be to say that they are a baddie!

Rules of Engagement:
We are going into this campaign with the understanding that we will encounter trolls. Political trolls are skilled and determined propagandists. Their strategy is to draw a response from public figures. They know that when public figures engage with abusive trolls to defend their reputation or their values – a normal behavioral response – this inadvertently spreads and legitimates the trolls’ message and tricks social media algorithms into pushing it to a broader array of users’ timelines. We would like both our audience and detractors to know we are playing quite a different game. We are petty and enjoy the online foolishness. We are going to enter these discussions without a ‘win’ or ‘lose’ mindset because, like them, we also want our ideas to be heard by as many potential supporters as possible.
We want to win & we are here for the work:
We want to address the real problems in our country. Jasmine Sherman resides in a state where lawmakers ditch town halls just so they don’t have to encounter their constituents . . . but how do you serve the people when you don’t know the people? Hell you won’t even talk to them.
Our movement is different. We believe there is no better way to empower citizens than to throw open the doors. We will meet with anyone who can make the time for a zoom call. “I don’t want to talk to only people who like/love me, because I plan to represent everybody,” Jasmine says. “I refuse to be locked in an echo chamber like so many politicians are doing with their social media.”
Don’t have capacity for a town hall or big event?
No problem, you have unfettered access to Jasmine Sherman!
