I don't trust the fractioned and scattered left to come up with a solid approach. That's also a classical thing. They will never unite but always lose themselves in infighting. And the far right will take advantage of that again, just like it happened in the 1920/30s. So. First task, IMHO: Shout out loud and clear that you are antifascist and will put the fascists back in that moral box that needs to stay buried deep underground. That is an axiom, IMHO, not a position that can be discussed.

So my hope is that my toots can inspire you to feel assured that your position of pro-democracy (with all its problems) is the position of the big majority out there and that it is worth to shout it out loud and thus show the 20% that they should return to a place where the sun doesn't shine. How you do that is up to you. I will not force you into any way of doing that. I am actually looking forward to your creativity and power to unite in the most decentralised way :)

My advice, if you want to hear it, is simple. Focus on the positivity of being the majority that wants a fair and just society, based on the fundamental human rights and democracy. Don't fall into the trap of getting lost and demotivated by discussions on details that are simply irrelevant in the bigger picture. Feel free to simply leave those pigeon chess [1] championships that exist around you. And don't get lost in bike shedding [2].

Do what you can and want. Be creative. Try, fail, learn, try again. But don't burn yourself out. Your personal happiness and mental stability is always top priority. Be prepared to deal with others exhausting themselves and be there to support them when needed. Accept the hopelessness and despair you will feel at times. We want to be and do good and that starts with being good to ourselves and those we care about. It is perfectly normal. The rest follows. It starts in your little community.
