Local elections can actually matter a lot, and small efforts can make big differences. It’s much more direct. Totally different sort of thing than federal
Democrats make a huge mistake not doorknocking because local orgs can explain these local issues better than any advertising campaign. Leftists and liberals can step into this place by organizing their local neighborhoods, churches, schools, workplaces, etc. People have far more power locally than nationally, and that local power can organize with other locals for greater regional/state/national power.
IMO “Lesser of two evils” and strategic voting are very defensible positions for races like this.
