But as askod pointed, it's a bit harder to write about local activism here on ET, given the site's nature, so not all individual efforts may be visible here. In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes
Perhaps a different approach is needed elsewhere.
So far as what people are best suited for, I think there is a fine line between that logic and coming up with excuses to remain in your comfort zone... Though we all obviously have our own talents and strengths. The thing about politics is that it usually comes down to who is doing it, not who is best suited for it. I really think that democracy isn't like a hobby or interest. It only works if everyone participates. I think 10% of it is finding a good way to use your talents, and 90% of it is just getting off your ass and doing something because no one else will, or the people who will don't share your values.
Stepping down from my little soapbox now... "Pretending that you already know the answer when you don't is not actually very helpful." ~Migeru.
