Just to say... threw some money at Susan Crawford (WI Supreme Court election) just now. Threw some money at Florida special elections (Josh Weil, Gail Valimont) a day or two ago.
I'm not doing banner drops or protesting on a Wednesday at noon, but, in the spirit of everybody doing what they can....
Glad you turned me on to Democracy Forward in Jan., and @heidilifeldman induced me to contribute more recently. If I wind up on a list, I couldn't be prouder.
Caveat: that's a public debate. Cost of losing is high. (Benefit of winning is high, too, but, new caveat, it might not stick. Wow, I'm so negative. :/ )
I think there's a large fraction that doesn't know, doesn't care and/or doesn't care to know. Low-info voting prolly won't help; turnout doesn't help any more.
So it's more "care, motherfuckers." Maybe a taller order.
I see the argument, but for you as a coder of CMSes, static is a step down in complexity, but for me (also a coder but, you know, cobbler's children, etc.), interposing a build/deploy system (unless it's on Netlify or some such, and that only adds complexity) is a step up. I "blog" from a variety of places (home pc, work pc, android, ideally linux) and having a build system, with all dependencies resolved, everywhere, is an issue.
At some point (conceivably), it will cease to be fashionable for young women to be involved in politics, at which point Teen Vogue will cease to be leading the revolution.
But, for now, it IS fashionable, and I surely do support it.
There's at least one article somewhere about cell phone use among those in poverty (because I've seen it). If one were to visit young people in extreme poverty (I have), one would see that almost all of them have a cell phone, which, in the US, is taken as a sign of not-really-in-poverty.
But they do have actual economic benefits (in the article, knowing what/where the best prices for goods are, since small business is key).
