I don't know if many people are still reading here. COVID has a lot of us focused on our own personal and health concerns and it's 'just' the midterms...
I listened to the podcast 'Majority 54' this week (released 13th January), and one of the things that the hosts (Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta) and their guest talked about was how state elections this year could have big implications for how future presidential elections go.
It's an episode worth listening to, as much because the guest gave examples of what elections are risky in his state and explained why, and they are not positions that most people would give a second thought to, but they relate to gerrymandering and possibly overturning electoral college votes and a great many other anti-democracy actions.
I've found Majority 54 really useful and informative about how political activism can work at the local level, even from outside the US electoral system, and this year they're nudging people to move into some kind of political involvement, whether it's talking to one person or manning a phone bank or whatever.
