I don't think the people who've been in charge of protecting us from fascism for the past ten years should be in charge of protecting us from fascism any more.

It can feel futile. Especially as I'm voting from abroad, and my vote goes to a "blue stronghold" state, so I've never once affected national politics meaningfully and maybe never will. I try to make up for it by bothering my elected officials and telling them not to support Jeffries or Schumer, and to stop the genocide, lock up pedophiles, etc.

    I have found that being part of a political group helps chase away feelings of being useless. Seeing and talking with DSA folks who also want change and working together with them helps remind me that I am not alone in my desire to change my community for the better.

    What you are doing does matter; you and I were drops in the blue wave and I hope more people join us.

    why not get involved in actuall-useful politics that doesn't rely on an ablative layer of corrupt aristocratic lawyers and poisoned-well bureaucracy to insulate the powerful from the will of the people and consequences of their mass child rape actions?
