> Voting in party primaries and advocating for change within parties, given the state of affairs in US politics, is a better bet for effective change than maintaining a stance of moral purity. I don't see why this would necessarily be true. Unaligned votes decide elections, while deeply partisan groups can generally be assumed safe and disregarded. Turnout boosting is a thing, but not generally through policy concessions. Turnout operations are much more about rallying people who already agree with you. I might be wrong, but my strong hunch is that if you have an hour to spend, volunteering at a party call center is going to pale in comparison to just writing a carefully worded letter to your representative on a specific issue you care about.
