    My dad is a local official and he couldn’t stop some giant, ugly, car-brained development from going in. He could only vote for the least bad one. Which is still terrible.

    So, no, I don’t think even local elections get us “better.” But “less worse” is still worth voting for because it honestly doesn’t take that much time.

      They do though? It would be much easier to mobilize on a smaller scale and build up. ike I’m sorry that happened to you but some places are getting better. A few areas have ranked choice which I think is a step forward. Do don’t gone up hope and keep trying to make things better

      This is true, and it’s kind of structurally inherent to how we do voting here. Gerrymandering and fptp voting are still in place with lots of local elections. Shit is something only targeted en masse local organization against these long term, niche, easily distracted issues can really solve.
