I will keep arguing that canvassing for a political movement is the highest potential thing most Americans could be doing now. I'm not talking about running for office yourself. You don't have to do it full-time. But try it. Focus on one issue and one bill. You could solve a key problem in weeks. See how this changes your life!

If you vote with your feet, you can solve many structural problems with a time investment of only 2-5 years.

Fine, just don't masquerade your canvassing as something that's supposed to help with your mental health.

Depends if you behave like some current canvassers and/or candidates. Of course, I mean those who are straight forward corrupt liars.

And the problem is there seems to be no shortage of canvassers who'll advocate for such candidates.

So, your 'highest potential' argument is somewhat poisoned.
