The fact that you believe that you have zero power and then participate in this thread, not realizing one of the leading causes on the why the situation or problem got to this point.

You people can do so much more than you think and you squander it on petty online squabbles

So clarify what I can do. I vote, so that's out of the way.

Donate? With what money?

Help/run campaigns? With what time and/or money?

Be informed? I generally am and a fat lot of good it did.

Inform others? Not an influencer, so no reach. The few crazies I am adjacent to I either can't discuss things with because it'd be unprofessional and I don't want to lose my job or they drank deep of the Kool aid. And the non crazies are usually on my side even when I do have info they don't already know.

Take people to the polls? Everyone for whom I could offer such a service early voted.

So what power am I overlooking? I participate to the best of my ability and within my limited resources so what am I missing?

Edit: How shocking, no response, just a downvote.
