This post from @burnoutqueen does a good job of expressing feelings I used to have 20 years ago or so:
https://tech.lgbt/@burnoutqueen/112747510965269952
I’ve since changed my thinking to flip the causal arrow in the other direction: campaigns are important, but success stems from the wider political movement created by [insert many social forces here].
Electoral campaigns are a focusing lens, not the light source.

  @inthehands@hachyderm.io electoral politics is the nexus of the revolution. Campaigning is how you gain popularity, and winning elections is how you gain power. Political parties are how you unite large amounts of people around one political cause. The trades unions and protest movements are also important, but they stem from the wider political movement created by campaigning.
