How can a sailorparticipate in politics

So I'm a Seabee in California, and this post is not being made to state any political beliefs or cause any discourse, it's a simple question about the UCMJ and my rights as a service member.

I've been finding it hard to be a service member, see what's happening in our country, and retain a neutral stance and not be able to do anything about. I'm just looking for some ways that in either my community, or through social media, I can have a voice and give effort into pushing for what I believe in. I know the typical response of "just focus on your career, it doesn't affect you" but I'm asking this as a human, who is becoming increasingly distressed mentally about my choice of career, and I'm just trying to find some way to support the causes I believe in.

I'll make it very clear that I understand to never use my service member status to publicly portray any sort of views, I greatly respect the political neutrality of the uniform.

Edit: Thank you all for the helpful responses, and for keeping it civil. It seems I may have just not understand the extent of what I'm allowed to do.

TLDR: Don't do it in uniform, don't post it on social media unless it's private/completely unaffiliated with your service, Vote!, attend rallies if you want (not in uniform), speak to your command legal if you have any questions.

Me and my dad used to play these games on mobile over 10 years ago. There was no visuals really, it was just in text boxes but there was something oddly addictive about them. Just wondering if anyone has any memory of these games, lot of nostalgia for em lol
