Okay. Let's make this simple:

You've established that not voting is a hill you're dying on. What else could others be doing to affect change? What active steps, events, or anything else are you doing that we can do which will increase the chance to make a difference?

if i woke up tomorrow and there was a permanent ceasefire, bidens approval rating would immediately recover. i wouldn't vote still but i know a lot of people are taking a stand and saying no because of the ceasefire. 50% of dems that voted for biden think israel is committing genocide: https://jacobin.com/2024/02/rashida-tlaib-gaza-michigan-primary-biden

calling on officials to call for a ceasefire or resign from their positions. use your time to educate yourself on the history of america as an apartheid state and tell others.

organize a general strike. there may be talk of this already that i am not aware of.

talk to your local unhoused folk. talk to your local disabled.

give money to people on the street. you're socioeconomically closer to them than to biden and other establishment politicians.

tie yourself to a piece of industrial equipment and disrupt non-urgent commerce. this is obviously a risk to your life and freedom so i wouldn't expect anyone to just be able to do this. also if you're disabled that would be harder of course.

i think about what happened with the land reform movement in china that happened long, but not too long ago. we cannot advocate for that tho but it was effective at shifting power from the ruling elite to the oppressed.
