No Bad Parts: Healing Trauma and Restoring Wholeness with the Internal Family Systems Model Book by Richard C. Schwartz
Lookup internal family systems (a good book would be "No Bad Parts"). It's like you have parts of yourself arguing and putting other parts down. It's all parts of you trying to protect you but they maybe don't recognize the roles each part has. Try to find out what your anger is trying to say, sometimes when the part is heard it is more manageable. The point isn't to make the anger go away but see if it can let other parts help in whatever need it is trying to accomplish.
Or do what they did in Hong Kong: ship them to another part of the country to stand trial. It's currently illegal, but probably less illegal than removing juries. They'll do it because they can't secure the local jails or something
Judge not lest ye be judged.
There are many forms of activism and it is important to keep in mind that everyone exists with different abilities in different contexts. Judging others because they aren't adopting the same strategy as you isn't going to build a winning coalition. Here's a quote from someone who was murdered by the SS and was reflecting on how stupidity is as much a sociological phenomenon:
It will really depends on whether those in power expect more from people's stupidity than from their inner independence and wisdom.
- Dietrich Bonhoeffer, After Ten Years
The idea that the DNC only has a messaging problem is to say we expect more from people's stupidity than from their inner independence or wisdom (ie Voters just need to be educated). A party that respects people would listen and respond to issues like Gaza or wealth inequality. The reason this strategy of educating voters doesn't work is because it isn't a problem with the intellect but of their oppression. Only by liberating fellow voters will they be able to act independently.
You actually think those people watch the news and get accurate information? Misinformed people are always going to learn the wrong lesson.
