  1. Join the DNC, find likeminded people, form a block and force the party toward those beleifs.

  2. While you do that, make the effort to find out where the money you spend in the economy is going, to whom, and what they are doing with it. Stop giving your money to people who are working against your interests.

  3. Build a culture and hobby of politics. Form groups, have discussions, explore the possibilities of a world better than this one and what else can be done to support each other through the ups and downs of life. We don’t have all the answer so start helping us try and figure them out.

  4. Disengage from information spaces high in dishonestly, corruption, agendas and alterior motives and disinformation. Cleanse your perception of reality of the lies you are constantly being fed and realign it with the most accurate, though less exciting, sources of information. Being informed isn’t being entertained, it’s boring and it’s work. But if you know others are also doing it, that helps stay motivated. See point #3.

  5. Vote everywhere you can. Understand your rights, the process by which you vote and the tactics used to dissuade you. You have some power. No, not the amount you crave and would be gratifying. But the power you do have is your responsibility to each other. Learn what that power is, how to works and start using it for your interests, instead dof which convinced to use to for the interests of the billionaire class.

  Nobody has the blueprint for freedom. Where we are right now is that we have to try and figure it out. Doing it alone is the opposite of what is effective. When power is dispersed, it’s utility only functions in groups. The motive to use it only emerges and sustains within groups**. Form those groups. Form those communities. Form those alliances and help each other find out the answer to, “What should we do about it?”.

  You aren’t going to find this answer gratifying, exciting and it won’t feel like you’re waiting for it to feel before you act. Its work. Its sacrifice. It’s responsibility. Or watch your nightmares of today becomes the reality of tomorrow.

    Geez, all that sounds like a good idea for making the world a better place, but what if instead we just stay at home and refuse to vote for politicians who don’t pass our purity tests? What if instead of working to make the world work the way it ought to we just pretend it works the way we want it to. Then hold ourselves in high regard for not participating or making token gestures that work against our interest?

  I sharpened my pitchfork.

  THEN I had it gold plated for this occasion.
