The single greatest thing people can do is get involved in literally anything.
I disagree. I think that the single greatest thing people can do is read, especially history and political theory. I just finished with Revolutionary Suicide and am currently rereading The Wretched of the Earth, and next on the agenda is Blood In My Eye.
It’s been my experience that the people most angry on here, the people that refused to vote, etc, are also the people that never get involved in real activism past protests. I really just want people to engage, now, while there is still time…
You want people to engage with the Democratic Party, specifically.
You didn’t address this, but what about the Uncommitted Movement? They engaged with party politics and involved themselves in party business! They nominated delegates and went to the Convention to lobby the Party leadership! They were at the table! But in the end, it accomplished literally nothing, and the Democrats didn’t even let a single Palestinian-American speak at the DNC.

What did they do wrong, in your opinion?
