Things make a little more sense when you realize that political parties are just businesses, IRS registered like any other. They make money by selling regulatory influence. If your concerns aren’t being represented well, it must mean that you are not a customer. You can pay with your vote, but most people don’t, as in, will never vote differently, no matter what. So you see, if you always vote for one party, and you don’t give money to party-neutral policy PACs, you’re completely irrelevant to politicians.
