Tell me what you want me to do.

Read theory, join an organization, learn to shoot and care for firearms, build community, etc.

100% agree with all of that. Also, vote the furthest left you can every chance you get because it helps move the Overton window to the left.

The people voting for Biden in the primary didn't move the Overton Window, the uncommitted movement did! Democrats went from being explicitly anti-ceasefire to support and Biden was forced out of the race. That is how you use the vote to get things done- organizing and strategy.

I fully agree and I believe that voting Uncommitted was the best leftist option so I think that is a great example of how voting the furthest left we can does actually make a difference.
