    The only way to be heard is to speak as a really big crowd. Like, big enough to swing an election.

    I’d contend that you then need to do something with that crowd. Otherwise, as you said, you just become a scapegoat.

      But the truly great organizers figure out how to snowball a small activist base into a lively community wide movement.
