I agree that it seems hopeless. I’m surrounded by people all day spouting propaganda nonsense talking points with no real attention given to conversations I have with them.
But nothing will ever change if everyone gives up. I think there is hope.
Politicians not entirely corrupted by donors are at least mainstream enough to be in the public eye these days, unlike a few years ago. Local exposure to actual reason may be the little push some of these people need to start considering the other side.

Too young to run for anything, sadly
I don’t think it’s naïve to think that doing anything I can to make change is better than doing nothing and complaining that I’ll never make a change
