>The boards won't be in places you want to be (in particular: a lot of them are Facebook Groups) and you just have to suck it up. But if you enjoy participating in a community like HN, you can participate in politics, too, and message-board your way towards making things happen.
How do you figure out where to go?
The way you'd expect: I bumbled through a bunch of different Facebook Groups, starting with the one simply labeled for my neighborhood, and followed cross-posts. Eventually I found the two really important ones in my area (one is an organizing group for local progressives --- I live in a very blue muni, and the other is the main high-signal political group for the area, in which all the village electeds participate).
