Voting will accomplish nothing.
The US doesn't even allow people to truly vote. It's mathematically impossible with our several layers of crap bolted onto an already mathematically-broken voting system. It's rigged to give you a choice between 2 evils, and really it's just a choice between 2 different representatives of the exact same evil.
And even if we:
- replace First-Past-The-Post with a proportional voting method
- replace single-seat districts with larger multi-seat districts
- get rid of the electoral college
- secure the rights of referendum and representative-recall
, it's unlikely that they would actually do anything meaningful enough to make a difference. More likely they would pass the same old useless hyper-specific miss-the-point regulations they always do. The only thing that will change is their advertisement methods.
Real change requires direct action.
