Obviously by themselves they don't accomplish a whole lot, if anything, but
lets look at what they are good for.
Protests are good for recruiting. Which is why informants and the occupations spies infiltrate and break up protests.
Voting is good because all the organization that it takes at the local and regional level, creates organizational infrastructure
that can be co-opted as soon as an election is over and then redirected toward other missions and activities.
You don't need to recruit soldiers, or spies, or activists, or any other type of person.
You only need to
ask people to come as they are
ask what they are willing to offer, what skills and resources they bring to the table
what they are willing to actually do, what risks they are willing to take.
For example, some people will attend protests but would be afraid to organize.
Some people will organize, but won't recruit.
Some people will recruit, but aren't willing to defend a protest against the occupations street enforcers (antifa/blm).
etc.
These are differing levels of responsibility, legal risk, and commitment. And everyone will have differing
levels of support and willingness to engage in different categories of activity or different kinds of tasks.
Find what people are willing to offer, what they bring to the table, and then go from there.
Just ask "what are you willing to do? What can you help with?" whenever someone presents views and opinions you can work with. Each time someone privately agrees with something the occupation is suppressing, that is an opportunity
to recruit.
And as always, filter out shitheads, feds, and other useless types whenever you encounter them.
