local elections SHOULD matter, but under the thumb of the government anything good you try to do will be banned. BDS stuff, muni broadband, walkable urbanism, whatever, will be banned at a higher level where it's more cost effective to buy politicians.
you cannot win with electoralism alone. maybe it can be a supporting thing in a broader strategy, but it's worse than useless on its own.
