Apart from a France-esque uprising, focusing on local elections, State Assemblies, and reinforcing the foundations of strong candidates at the levels we can have individual impact at naturally helps on a larger scale. It's really a question of organization, as funding at local levels can often be measured in the hundreds or thousands instead of the millions. People are tired of feeling helpless, let's give them a way to channel that energy.

This is ultimately what I wanted if Biden/Harris won. Four years to prepare. Now it's four years to survive.
