Contrast the job of •activist• with the job of •politician•.
An activist’s job is to change people, to change society — starting with people’s worldview, with what they see and what they believe and how they inhabit their lives.
A politician’s job is also to change the world — but to use existing structures to reify worldviews that largely •already exist•. And yes, the bully pulpit matters! Oratory matters! But fundamentally, the job is about achieve •concrete, near-term• gains.
