SAY YES! #SPOONER2020<\/a><\/p>\n

A post shared by Casey Spooner<\/a> (@caseyspooner) on

Said Spooner: \u201cI don\u2019t expect to win, but I do expect to make a difference. As a working artist the only way I know how to deal with our current political crisis is to go towards the problem. I\u2019ve been complacent in the past. No more. My own complacency has been a product of my white privilege combined with my distrust of the political system. And by never having felt an immediate threat to me or my lifestyle. I\u2019ve never gotten involved. That ends now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe point for me isn\u2019t about winning,\u201d he added. \u201cIt\u2019s about understanding and growing. It\u2019s about shifting the narrative. It\u2019s about demystifying the system for others.\u201d<\/p>\n

Continued Spooner: \u201cMuch of my works is about systems and personas. \u2026 Government is the next system I wish to explore, particularly the conflict between capitalism and democracy. I think a large part of our political crisis stems from our highest elected officials trying to run our country like a business, prioritizing profit over people. \u2026 I\u2019m starting my campaign with nothing. Nothing but desire. Desire for real change.\u201d<\/p>\n

Spooner followed up his announcement with an Instagram post from Fire Island Pines. In the photo, Spooner is draped in red white and blue fabric, and squats beside signs that read \u201cblack and brown people are systematically incarcerated for profit\u201d and \u201cthis is not satire.\u201d The caption reads: \u201cPROTESTING A PRISON THEMED CIRCUIT PARTY\u201d<\/p>\n
