Who is talking about local races for city council or mayor?
This is about national politics and national elections. My city councilor isn’t going to end support for a genocide, give us universal healthcare, or improve economic conditions for the majority of the nation.
They are, though. Local politics matters a hell of a lot more in your day to day life.
Local politicians determine whether a protest is allowed or is shut down.
Local politicians determine whether to create supportive institutions for Healthcare, or whether to shut them down.
Local politicians decide housing, taxes, how much the cops harass you, how many grocery stores are in your area, and how difficult it is to vote.
If you have no opinion on your local races, you’re either SO uninformed you should recuse yourself from the democratic process, or you don’t actually live in the US.

Shhh. Don’t tell people they have to do anything besides complaining and occasionally protesting.
Protesting is fun. Voting for and supporting a candidate who loses an election is not.
