That’s just not true. You can call your representatives and ask them to, you know, represent you. You can organize or participate in protests, boycotts, and mutual aid programs. You can have tough conversations with the conservatives in your life that are also having a bad time now.

I’m an American. I acknowledge that this situation sucks. But I’m not throwing my hands up and saying, “Ho hum. Nothing i can do until 2028, when I might get to vote for the lesser of two evils again…” Like, you do need to try. Democracy is falling apart because a third of the country figures their political actions don’t matter, so they don’t try.
