Thanks! But I'm much more interested in just getting people to do local politics. It is nothing at all like national politics. The people you need to persuade aren't faceless, they're not a mass of people swayed by the media, the electeds will take your phone calls directly, you can go door-to-door to make things happen. I see so much nihilistic fatalism in these threads and I think most of it is based off a conception of politics rooted in, like, the shit Politico reports about.

Most of the stuff that really impacts your community, like Flock, is governed locally, by very small numbers of people.
