I know that's cynical, but welcome to reality.
I have long been disillusioned by the fact that people can have an impact on their society by simply electing someone that will totally be fixing the issues that have been plaguing society for decades, for real this time, pinky swear.
But hey, again, if you live somewhere that actually happens let me know and I'll board the next rocket.

If there is no one suitable to vote for, maybe you can be that guy. And on flip side, if you think no one will vote for you, maybe your opinion is not aligned with the majority in your country.
