if you don’t know when election day is, search “when are the primary elections in [insert your state here]” or check local news. Many states have already had primaries, but the primaries won’t end across the U.S. until June.
if you don’t know how to register to vote, search “voter registration [insert your state here]” and you’ll be brought to a website where you can register online. some states need you to register a certain amount of time in advance, some states allow you to register on the day of the election at the polling place. you’ll need state, federal, or tribal ID, OR proof of residence (for example, an electricity bill that has your name and address on it). the election judges will guide you through the process.
if you don’t know where to vote, search “what is my voting precinct” or “where is my polling place.” there are lots of websites dedicated to helping you find out where you can vote — you provide them with your zip code and address and they’ll give you the address of the polling location. often, when you register, you’ll get a letter in the mail/e-mail confirming you’re registered and they may have your polling place in that letter.
if you can’t physically get to the polls there are options. early voting, where you can mail in a ballot before election day, is one. search “early voting [insert your state here]” for more information. you can ride in a voter’s carpool, an initiative to help people get to their polling places who otherwise don’t have access due to lack of transportation. search “drive to the polls [insert your state here]” to see if there are people available to drive you to the polls. Some ridesharing services like Lyft are offering discounted or in some cases free rides to the polls.
if you don’t know which candidate to vote for, search “[candidate name] on the issues” for each one and decide for yourself which candidate you agree with the most. good sources of candidate information are the candidates’ individual websites, or newspaper’s websites like The New York Times. be wary of overly partisan websites giving false information. as of today, March 4th, 2020, Bernie Sanders, Joseph Biden, Elizabeth Warren, and Tulsi Gabbard are the candidates for the Democratic presidential nominee. all other candidates have dropped out of the race.
if you don’t know how to make a molotov cocktail, take a glass bottle filled with a high-proof alcoholic liquid or other flammable liquids and stick a piece of cloth made of natural fibers in the opening, so the rag is half-soaking in the liquid. close the bottle opening somehow, then use a lighter to set the rag on fire. then throw it at whatever you want to set on fire.

my point here is that you either need to vote, or actually start throwing molotovs at your local congressmen. get off of your phone.
