Voting, contributing to campaigns, some volunteering around prop times. Though I'll admit I haven't done much around the recall of our DA outside of donating. I should be doing more there.
I'm also active in my neighborhood in my own way, trying to get people together for events (think trivia, bar game tournaments, etc). Though of course this has limited during covid.
I think your comment is kinda rude, though. Even if all I was doing was voting, I think I'd still qualify to talk on the issues. Anything more is gatekeeping.
- dcow 5y agoI simply asked, didn't suggest you weren't doing things. Please read my comment carefully--I specifically tried to be careful not to imply anything. I asked because I think participating locally is the only real answer, so kudos.

- cudgy 5y agoHave the candidates you voted for won any of the elections? Or would your candidates have done differently than the currently elected officials? Many people blame government but think their own representation is fine. California has huge problems with affordable housing and homelessness but their left-leaning residents and politicians seem ineffective against the problem. One would think that left-leaning governments would solve these problems more effectively. For example, why is the governor of California issuing refunds of a surplus budget when throes of mentally ill and drug addicted citizens swarm the streets with no effective assistance or clean area to defecate? It is appalling to say the least.
- yupper32 5y agoSome of my candidates I've supported have won. Some I've liked once in office, some I haven't. Some I've voted for again, some I've voted out. Can't win them all. Just have to keep trying. Sorry my efforts aren't good enough, I guess?
