Wow, thank you! I especially appreciate the handbook, it expresses a lot of my thoughts much better than I could have.
It also made me realise that I didn’t express the point you make in the very first section although it’s kind of critical to my feeling that there’s so much opportunity here—ie that politics is sort of unique in that it calls for mass engagement, and there are so many opportunities to be involved just as a citizen (or group of citizens) without necessarily making it your profession or becoming some kind of expert. Which is not generally often true in other spheres (eg charity) in my opinion.
