Vote local, vote often, and try to help people be able to do the same. We'll get better candidates if and when we start voting them into smaller positions first. Republicans are generally more likely to vote locally, and this allows them to gerrymander the voting districts and control stuff from the local level up. Change your town and state officials to be more progressive, and they'll support more progressive policies and politicians at higher levels of government.

My private and professional perspective as a trans woman and political scientist if there is low voter turnout this next election:
You realize that Hillary won the popular vote and Trump won the Electoral College?? You're argument is void.
Voting the lesser of two evils has arrived us at our current situation. It is not a solution.
When corporate lobbyists completely control the only two viable parties, then voting is rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic.
Do you think hyping up elections with a free democracy dog (a hotdog on election day) would make voting sexy enough that people would show up to the polls? Like Australia.
Reminder, you get to choose from the 2 canida8that were chosen for you.
