This is good advice. You can make a much bigger splash in local politics. Vote. Get educated on local issues. Become an activist. Run for office. Get involved in local community groups. There’s only so much your typical individual can do towards national or even state politics, but local involvement is much more impactful.
There’s a saying, that the states are the laboratories of democracy. There’s often this push to make big scale reforms at the national level, and in some cases that is the right thing. But Congress is perpetually gridlocked. Often it’s better to build from the state, county, and local level to fine tune a reform and prove to the country that it is a good idea.
