Vote for progressive candidates (even if they are dem) in the midterms, and advocate that others do so. That’s the easy thing. Low chance of success, similar effort to claiming everyone else should care about things they don’t.
Next up, run for local office. But don’t campaign, just pay the application fee, put your name in, and send in a write up for the voter guide that says to support the real progressive candidates. Slightly more effort, but slightly more impact.
There are tons of small things you can do. Even donating $5 to a progressive candidate would be more effective than saying people should care.
This sort of defeatist take is not helping anyone either.
I’m not defeatest. I just can’t stand focusing on impractical solutions instead of things that can make a difference.
You say it’s impractical and I say it very much is. What now?
