Oh, sorry for being unclear. I'm not USAmerican, I have no love for the dems other than that they're not the GOP; not actively promoting fascism, enacting pogroms, or dismantling human rights.
I'm an activist. And I currently teach, support and organise people to take an active role in their community.
I know from experience that change needs nimble and concerted action, and on a grassroots level resourcefulness to find the actions that work.
I'm not saying the dems nor others aren't doing what they think is best, I'm saying that you should too. And maybe repeatedly petitioning the people you don't believe capable of helping might not be the best use of your efforts.
Unless it is all you can muster, at which coming to terms with that will almost certainly help both your mental well being and sym-/empathy for other action which will in turn benefit the change.
