If it was simple, you would have done it already.
The median American voter doesn't care to be on the right side of history. Thay want stability, and, as the 2024 election showed us, they're neither bright nor civically responsible about it.
In fact, the whole southern strategy relies on the notion US people vote on bigotry and vibes. And thus will gladly elect a confidence player who lies to them. It keeps working no matter how bad the last Republican was.
But we weren't talking about general elections, were we? We were talking about mass group action. General strikes. Civil disobedience. Large scale noncooperation.
For that, you'll need to organize twelve million Americans.
How are you going to do that?
What are you doing to help?
TBH, I haven't found my place in the effort either. But I research the snot out of the matter, and try to be informative at group meets. I don't think that's enough to move the needle, though.
