The best advice I can give is to get involved at a local level, especially now during local elections. Call the people running for town/county positions, make your voice heard. Doesn’t matter which side you’ll vote for, call both people running. Livable infrastructure is bipartisan.
Sadly we have reached a point in this country where any larger metropolitan area (like where I live) really doesn’t give a shit even at local levels, because the vast majority of their constituents respond more to propaganda than real political action, and big money donors have the most influence there.
Your comment is still right, it’s just looking real bleak these days. Until we can sort out how to get money out of politics (or, you know, capitalism as the driving ideology) were in trouble
While I agree with your sentiment and feel the same way you do, change for us will not happen without people putting boots on the ground and letting people in charge know how we feel.
Yes, that’s why I still participate in grassroots campaigning. I even have an idea that has been incubating among myself and a select few friends and former colleagues on how to tackle this. But we’ve yet to find the last two things we need: a political finance expert and a constitutional lawyer, both willing to stick their necks out to passionately disrupt the very industries in which they thrive
