Signing up for those, which I have not, is for the brave. But I would not disparage those who do. It's tough work. I originally thought those would be boycotted ( including politicians our side not going on Fox etc.) The thing is we are becoming more "channelled" or "siloed" and there is less discussion or pushback/confrontation. And then when one of those MAGAs appears here we call them "trolls". So it's not a good sign that the divisions have become so deep and cemented. Those who tune out are more approachable. This is a larger discussion but I think one of the reasons Harris lost was because people tune out and did not consider what was/is at stake. And then when voting started- they did not vote thinking maybe politics is corrupt altogether or some such, or they voted for the party they always voted for ( or family voted for) or they were very unsure about a woman president or outright misogynist, or racist. Of course there was the price of eggs to complain about, though gas prices have gone down.. This is the uninformed voter. How do you reach them when we are so channeled and busy with local and personal things on our plate? People take this country for granted as being stable, *egalitarian* and free. Reject hate. Maybe bumper stickers work well. Simple. Yard signs if you live in a traffic area. " Reject Hate" "We are all in this together".
