Not only vote, but also run for office. It doesn't have to be in congress, but you can run for county clerk, library trustee, and so forth. The more people filling in the lower level of the government, the better chance we have to push for systematic change in the country.

Make no mistake though, we do need to push hard for ranked voting system so that we can kick out Democrat party in favor of Progressive party without handing over the election to the far right fascist party.

With more gen Z'ers becoming eligible to vote, there needs to be a push to get everyone registered to vote and show up for every election, regardless of scope. Their vote plus the millennial vote boom will hopefully push out the politicians destroying the US.

100% I myself need to do a better job staying politically active. Register to vote everybody, and help a friend get registered. People's lives are at stake.
