That's more interesting and arguably more productive, but *political participation* implies an attempt to influence a campaign, or at least drive out the vote neutrally.

Maybe two hours each time

lol

yea

I am surprised NBC didnt crop out the black woman sitting behind Trump nodding along the whole time

Encourage people to vote in person while ya do it

That's always good

lol

most people in our town is already voting in person

mail is fraud, CNN and twitter will keep saying it isnt

I voted for Trump today after work

good

So rationalize your platform to any who are interested, without demanding that they do the same in turn.

But if they want to, let them.

my friend doesnt wanna help organize it

The conservative side of the interwebs woulda gotten hold of that immediately @The Central Scrutinizer , they probably didn't wanna deal with the backlash

he says that he hates how we "have to protest" to get participation hours

which is kinda true

republicans (ie, me and him) are literally fucked

99% of opportunities she posts are for liberals

In my town I see like 20 campaign signs directly outside the voting station

I'm so glad I have a normal Govt class... Lmao

I can also just attend town meeting zooms but thats boring

@Bear if you absolutely CANNOT, yes,

you couldnt do an absentee ballot instead

absentees are generally safer

Dude my govt teacher is surprisingly unbiased, I got hella lucky

It doesn't take much organizing. Bring a table, chair, and a Trump or Republican or whatever campaign sign you're most interested in.

Pick an appropriate sidewalk or plaza, and chill for a Saturday.

lol

Have some people there to protect you if stuff goes south as well

yea, my town has a "harbor" with tons of foot traffic and shops

im thinking of setting up something

fun and easy way to get hours

but more importantly; it actually does something long term

promoting these discussions promotes real change; a single politician doesnt really

Agreed

there are issues that politics cant solve or wont.

wrong channel oops

ooh, if attending meetings works, watch a county commissioner meeting. Get a better understanding of the responsibilities of your local government. The separation of powers into the local-state-federal levels is just as important as the separation into legislative-executive-judicial.

@Bear oh yea
