Politics is about convincing as many people as possible to vote your way, and to make a big difference, you have to do it at scale. Changing people's minds is hard. Much like sales, it also has downsides like making a pest of yourself.

It's important, but I am a bit frustrated by shallow encouragement that makes politics sound like it's easy. It's like saying "get a job" rather than providing actually helpful resources and training to find a job.
