If you really want to help make things better: don't focus on elections (that includes more local ones).
Real political power doesn't come from the ballot box, but from political organizing.

"But I didn't vote, cuz that would just be perpetuating a broken system."
"Oh... how's the system doing now?"
"Still broken."

And to add another point, people en masse are followers. They vote the way they are told. At some point, progressives got the idea that it is impolite to tell people how to vote. That means the loudest voices are the most impolite. That's a breeding ground for fascists and charletains. Speak up, challenge stupidity and lies, and make bigots feel bad again.

“But I voted every 4 years for decades and it only got worse. Eventually I realised doing the same thing was never going to get result, especially when my voice was taken for granted”
“Did voting help”
“No, but I got to feel good for myself like I was on the winning team”

Nooo, you have to blindly pick a side and act like you’re infallible and the other fallible.
Don’t let up from the culture war, or else you might look to see the class war running everything.

MAGA: That's right, we feel good about ourselves, that's the only consequence. Now shut up and get in the van.

I like how both sides are constantly complaining about the erosion of free society and democracy but both sides also support questionable legislation.

Pelosi: That’s right, we feel morally better to you. Now go die in the street from easily preventable needs because a company lobbied me for you to die.

"Yes, it got Trumped kicked out of office in 2020. But the next time people decided that not voting would be the best option, so he got voted right back in."

When the only thing you can offer is "make it harder for Republicans" you've already lost.

I mean, you do that whether you vote or not. But when you try to tell people that they have to do more than vote, they don't like it.

People did vote, though. They just voted for Trump.
