Chelsea Manning releases first campaign ad in Senate run By Jacqueline Thomsen - 01/14/18 03:25 PM EST

Chelsea Manning has released the first campaign ad in her bid for a Maryland Senate seat.
The transgender activist and former soldier filed to run (http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/368906-chelsea-manning-files-for-senate-run-in-maryland) for Senate on Thursday, but confirmed the bid with a campaign ad she posted to Twitter on Sunday.
“We live in trying times. Times of fear, of suppression, hate,” Manning says as images of the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va., and protesters clashing with police are shown.“We don’t need more or better leaders, we need someone willing to fight,” she continues.

The ad then shows images of lawmakers, including Democrats meeting with President Trump.

“We need to stop expecting that our systems will somehow fix themselves, we need to actually take the reins of power from them,” Manning says.

“We need to challenge this at every level. We need to fix this. We don’t need them anymore, we can do better."

“You’re damn right we got this,” she says to end the ad, using her well-known hashtag #WeGotThis.

Manning also tweeted (https://twitter.com/xychelsea/status/952532782294667269) a link for campaign contributions.

Manning will run against Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.) in the November Democratic primary.

The whistleblower was sentenced to 35 years for releasing confidential military and State Department documents, but former President Obama commuted her sentence to seven years, leading to her release in 2017.

Who exactly is this 'we' he speaks of?

And who exactly are the 'them' he intends to unseat?

When he starts prancing around calling for public executions of US district attorneys and their AUSA's and clerks then, and only then, will I listen to his spiel....

"Likeminded", probably getting pretty shrewed already in politics.

Besides name recognition, Chelsea probably will have significant support from liberal, anti-war, LGBT commmunities etc. This could be a wild card.

Two words, Iraqi Freedom.

Probably the most mind, body, everything shifting event in modern US history. Obama and Trump could be just first two installments.

As I said, he need to be in a mental institution. He'll fit right in there in the US Senate

If the tweet claim at 0:42 mark in confirmed, that could be bad news for Democrats in this primary.

That's the beauty of our voting system.

You got to love it, a felon/dishonorably discharged veteran is ineligible for government employment, yet they can run for public office.

Remember the Seinfeld episode where one of Jerry's fellow comedians converted to Judaism and suddenly started making a bunch of Jewish jokes, and then Jerry went to the guy's old Priest and told him that he thinks the guy converted to Judaism for the jokes? The priest asks him, "so this, offends you as a Jewish person?" and Jerry said, "No, it offends me as a comedian!"

I'm pretty sure Chelsea Manning became transgender for the emojis, and I know there is a good joke in there somewhere..

This might inspire HB to get more involved in politics.

I can't tell if she was appeasing her base with the tweet or what, apparently she was pretty nice at the gathering.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that I think she likes attention.
