Nope, you demanded concrete steps from me. I want them from you. “Talk to people in your community and become a prepper” isn’t a solution, it’s a dismissal. It does nothing to restore trust in the party, but that’s not the idea. The idea is silence.
Organizing and acting is how you accomplish goals.
That you see organizing and establishing community as “dismissal” and “prepping” speaks volumes.
We’ve made great strides locally, what used to be a “queer hiking group” is now talking about secure communications and organizing a range day soon. We’re making actual progress and forming a support network for our friends and families. But yeah I’m not doing anything and your demoralizing progressive voters online is going to accomplish a lot.
Edit: I can give you more concrete steps if you’d like. If you’re willing to give me a rough geographic location I can probably even locate existing group(s) around you that would likely be receptive to help
Organizing and acting is how you accomplish goals.
We’re talking about a specific goal here, or at least I am. How do we get from mutual aid community gardens and goin’ to the gun range, to reliable primaries?
You organize and push policies you want. Push for RCV, push for candidates that’ll support what you want, show up to protest with your peers. You organize petition drives and collect signatures. Community organizing is a field all it’s own and there are a dozen ways to engage but engaging is the critical part. There are other steps to take that organization will be important for but I’m not going to start fedposting. Being organized is the only path forward.

I’m just not seeing how any of that moves the needle on honest primaries.
