I’ve just given up on the federal government. It stopped working for common people in any meaningful way a long time ago. State and local, sure, but federal?

  State is a longshot, depending on where you live and if your interests align with those in power. Being queer in a conservative area isn't going to get you results that keep you safe, and it is worse if your particular brand of queer is being trans. Transfolks aren't getting treated well from some state governments. Local? There is a serious lack of power that local politicians wield and most won't be able to help you with your issues.

  It is what you put into it? I won't get into detail but it is hard and thankless. Writing off all the public sector in the US is writing off the private sector BC of bad actors like the data marketers. Should we write them off entirely?

    Yes.
