A new political action committee has been created to guilt white men into ending their political ambitions because they’re white men.
Colorado Public Radio reports the "Can You Not" PAC was created by two white male Democratic activists, Jack Teter and Kyle Huelsman.
According to PAC’s website, the goal of the Colorado-based "Can You Not" PAC is to “dis/empower and dis/incline people in positions of privilege, specifically straight white men, from ambitions of running for office in progressive urban districts. “
“We challenge brogressives and others to reject any notion that they are uniquely qualified or positioned to seek political office in districts that don’t need them. As well-represented white dudes, we feel it is our obligation to know when to shut up and Not.”
The PAC founders are adamant they are “100% serious!”
“We plan to give a handful of Democratic endorsements and (dis)endorsements before the June primaries and November election,” they explain.
Huelsman told Colorado Public Radio, “We're pushing back against the notion that looking like a Ken doll makes you uniquely qualified to run for office.”
MSNBC reports the PAC has already raised $1,200 in its first 24 hours.
