Are you referring to Trump's election?
Well, some people's problems were solved by the ballot box, and they got their man elected. The fact that you disagree with the politics doesn't negate the system working as intended.

I had no choice in the election in that matter. I did have some hope with Bernie, but all of the subversion against him by the DNC my hope was burned to shreds. So there's an example of how, one of the most important issues, has no ability to be addressed in the ballot box in recent history.
