Those are your only options.
The upside is that, in your own little corner of the world, you can do little good things that are legitimately helpful to other people. Here in Kansas City we had a blizzard two weeks ago and a week ago I helped a neighbor push their car out of a parking spot. Shit like that. You can do it, just be willing.
Also, just a small nitpick, but we don't actually have a democracy. If we did, there would be at least five people on the stage at every presidential debate, but no. One has to be obscenely wealthy AND pledged to making the wealthy more obscenely wealthy in order to have a shot at it.
