Seriously as long as folks are content at home the politicians won’t give a damn about you. Go march in the streets en mass and things will slowly change.
IMHO not even a US specific issue, people in a whole lot of "western countries" seem to have forgotten how to meaningfully protest.
Sure, there is the occasional "against climate change" or "for this societal issue" marches, but they all have the problem of being incredibly obscure in their goals and demands.
Long gone are the days of large scale peace protests against very specific "interventions", like the invasion of Iraq triggered.
It's even harder when, at the same time, you put your thumb firmly on one side of the business/labor relations scale by pushing at-will employment and right to work efforts.
