A few things that are accessible within the USA include:

  • Participating in mutual aid programs
  • Campaigning on the local level, including for positions like poll watchers
  • Making your voice heard in community events in general
  • Joining your local DSA, networking

    I question if you’re American. No American I’ve ever met says “USA”. It’s always “US” or “Americans”. USA is only said as a chant of pride.

      I swear I’m American (and it doesn’t matter to me because hopefully the debate > my identity), but what would you clock me to be? Am I European or Canadian or something?

        I had an American tell me that I couldn’t be from the UK because I said I was British and “Nobody says that”

        🤷

        Deceptive? I’ve never once in my life heard an American use clock in a personal manner like that. Clocks are for telling time and counting seconds in a race.

        I liked the bit about poll watching. Is this a checklist for things that will be infiltrated for the next election?

        Am I a useful idiot for calling out the obvious and furthering the division?

        I hate US election season in the Internet era.

        For good measure so I know you’re an American, post a picture of Sims - 3, with a sticky note and your username.

        Edit: Just so this post gets seen… Stuxnet assassination in Minecraft, with nuclear capabilities. Thanks 🫡

          I’m petty sure this whole comment is satire but

          I’m pretty much pulling from the stuff that right-wingers have talked about infiltrating from the lowest levels and saying we should do it first. Moms for Liberty is a fascist group with actual pull. Steve Bannon wants the fashies to join local boards.
