Thank you. If there's anything worse than apathy, it's people who get frustrated with outcomes from politics, but do nothing but express how much they dislike politicians. Decrying the whole process and staying away from it is the best way to ensure that power stays in the hands of those whose decisions you dislike so much.
- fsg7sdfg789 11y agoPersonally, I believe the political system is structured in such a way as to make changes impossible. This is a feature, not a bug. The inertia of the system protects us against mob rule. It also means that as much as change is inevitable, it is also completely outside the control of one person, party, or special interest group. Instead, I choose to optimize for my own happiness. Politics, especially because you're just shouting against the rain, makes me incredibly unhappy, so I avoid it. Others are free to spend their time as they wish, but I am simultaneously cynical about the system and as removed and detached from it as I can be in order to focus on my own happiness.

Don't avoid just voting and making sure people pay attention to you as opposed to the Rich White Elderly that get Medicade and Social Security could possibly be because they are the majority of the voters. When I help in campaigns I always focus on super voters. I knock on every door. They are white and wealthy. Working class I know one out of every 100 doors maybe?
