In general: Do you want to make a difference in an election? The best way to do that is not on bluesky or really the internet at all. The best way is *something in the physical world*. Find a local campaign. Find a party office who will send you to a local campaign one district over. Knock on doors.

For Maine voters who are worried that Collins might still eek out a win, instead of lamenting, there's plenty of GOTV work for Maine voters. Here's a list of actions Maine voters can get involved in. shaystewartbouley.substack.com/p/gotv-maine...

"I have physical limitations and can't go around knocking on doors" Try to find the campaign office anyway? They will have office volunteer work like typing up canvass lists. "Oh cool, I found a phonebanking opportunity—" No, don't bother IMO. IME they'll just have you asking for money. 0 benefit.

I disagree on this one? At least in these last couple weeks before election day, a fair bit of phone banking (in my personal experience) is calling "people who had at some point in the past been a registered democrat", having a brief conversation with them, and encouraging them to vote this year.

I'm glad to hear you found a phonebanking opportunity that was productive
