That's a fair point, I sadly don't have the energy to do much action myself and am happy to hear others like you do try!
To your point on minority positions, I know there's some fear there of retribution sometimes, or that the state makes it more difficult then necessary so that puts them off. Also just finding the time in our lives to do so, I pay a lot of attention to politics and it makes me angry a lot of the time, so I can understand why people want to tune it out for those kinds of reasons, however it is so important that you just have to do it at the end of the day or the consequences are... gestures around
I'm sure there some good historical ideas, thinking particularly the civil rights movements and their tactics to get out the vote, I know it's a different time now but I'm sure a lot of it would still ring true/helpful.
