Reminder to all the #activists on here that you are on some level preaching to the choir: people on here are almost certain to be informed enough about #US #politics and the daily overreaches of #fascism and unregulated #capitalism, that we don't necessarily need more information.
Effective #activism through the #fediverse may be better off talking about how to inform and shift the perspectives of the people that aren't engaged, who aren't on platforms like this. Pretty much every "opinion" poll we see shows a split between voters who are informed or engaged in some way, and voters who aren't. Do you have any insight on who is giving these responses? Do you know someone you can talk to? Have you found something that would shift perspectives if it was more widely stated?
#Democracy requires discourse and outreach: we won't get anywhere by just talking amongst ourselves about things we all agree on.
