I’ll always drop the exception that it’s potentially worth voting in local politics, particularly in small remote communities. These vary in frequency and often don’t always overlap the major elections and are largely ignored.
City and county positions can have a real tangible impact on your daily life and the amount of votes to swing these elections can be really small in a lot of America. It’s still an uphill battle against landlords and small business tyrants, but it’s something real local organizing can overcome.

I think the fact that you can actually organize voting at that level is often overlooked when talking about local elections.
The load-bearing word is organize. With that alone you can accomplish great things.
