I vote and I follow politics closely. I haven't totally given into the idea it's hopeless but I'm deeply skeptical about the ability for democracy to solve these problems. We have a progressive President who enjoys a majority in congress and he's still not able to enact a really progressive agenda. I'm starting to feel like the system is completely rigged. The people voted for change and all they're getting is Republican filibusters preventing most of it from happening. It's a subversion of democracy. Even if you win elections certain factions in this country are going to prevent progress.
