I started with protest, and then joined political organizing. I don't think its neccisarily true that because someone has taken one step they won't take more. I understand the feeling that half measures just impede our ability to build anything actually better than the two shit parties status quo we've had, but I'll be honest, the only reason I've had the emotional bandwidth to do more than protest is because protest gave me a way to engage with the problem that didn't make me so stressed I felt like I needed to throw up.

At the end of the day, all the work we need to get done has to be done by humans, who are pretty much universally having a hard time emotionally staying afloat through this storm.

But more importantly, I dont think the way you're communicating that you feel we need to be organizing our efforts differently will reach any ears that dont already agree with you. Just my perspective ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ
