Voting gets so much attention not because it's super effective, but because it's super easy. It's the absolute most efficient change/effort available to us.

Everyone should vote, just as a first step. Even if you don't like DvR there are third parties, write-ins, plus there is municipal and local voting, and issues you can vote on directly on the ballot.

And then after you're done voting, get involved in your local community.

If you're a defeatist/"enlightened centrist", you are a part of the system of oppression.
