    The Left needs to study up on what the Moral Majority did back in the 1970s.

    Both Parties have local clubhouses where they decide local matters; who is going to run for dog catcher and should we put a STOP sign on Main Street? If the normal turnout for a meeting was twenty people, the Moral Majority would show up with 50. It didn’t cost them an arm and a leg, and they quietly stole power from big shots like Nelson Rockefeller.

    start actually showing up where it will make a difference

      Bingo. If you’ve made it this far in the thread and are wondering what you, one person behind a keyboard, can do, it’s to start going to your local town hall meetings, and to start bringing friends. The first thing you’ll notice is that basically no-one is there. If you suddenly show up as a consistent group of 10-15, local politicians will start taking you seriously.

      If you don’t have any friends, going to local protests are a great way to make them! There’s still a few going on in solidarity with Palestine I think, but there’ll always be more!
