I'm fully aware of it. I think everyone is.

The problem is that people, you included, are very, very quick to say the same thing.

"But Voting Didn't INSTANTLY Fix All My Problems!"

Yeah. We all know. There's some 50% of the population that varies between selfishly hating change and being straight up regressive - those people aren't going to magically go anywhere.

So my response to you, and everyone saying this, is... PLEASE, if anyone knows of something better LET ME KNOW.

Fucking hell, I am totally open to a better solution! I even buried the voting thing in between two other things, because I know it's not a good solution.

Right now, in these united states, it's the most powerful option we have, though. So let's not get caught up in disparaging it.

Politicians are like a zit.

You only get something out of them if you pressure them. HARD.

It's a gross analogy, but it's accurate.

When I worked for a member of Congress, he'd always ask how the mail and calls were running.

The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Corruption prevents the functioning of our republic. We need a purge of current career politicians, term limits, and a reigning in of the federal reserve.....which representives which have a meaningful chance of winning are representing these ideals?

All I've heard is 1 party wants to cut kids dicks/ tits off as children and the other party wants to make children birth their own incestuous grandchildren.

I'll pass on both of those options thank you very much

I’m actually super glad you don’t vote since apparently you can’t even do basic research into civics or social issues.
