I think many Americans (especially younger ones) are at the point where they are jaded by the act of voting. Sure, I can cast a vote for someone, but what difference does it make in changing the government? The government isn't like some small-town legislature where single people can stand up and closely represent their fellow citizens. Everyone is taking money from someone at the end of the day to get elected, and that someone is rich people. Us "normal people" are worthless to political representatives at the end of day - it doesn't matter what the party is. Honestly, getting votes from people is just a formality for elected officials at this point, and once elected, all the attention goes to the rich people that financed the campaign in order to "pay them back".
