I don't think I want anyone quitting their jobs over this. Is democracy working or not? Let's make it illegal then. If people who vote are just not aware of this, then there needs to be a more organized awareness campaign, how can we help with that? I don't think all this "lone hero" b.s. by engineers is useful. I don't need someone martyring their careers.

I didn't do it because I expected it to influence the decision makers. I did it because I don't want to be knowingly aiding and abetting the kinds of things ICE does. But to answer your other questions... No, democracy isn't working in US right now. Arguably hasn't for a while, but it's very evident now. Fixing that would likely require amending the constitution; a bar so high that at this point I'm confident that the system is more likely to self-destruct from internal contradictions than to reform. At the same time, there are literally millions of people in this country who did vote for this and do want it. Even if they had an honest majority, it wouldn't make any of it any less evil. Democracies aren't inherently good.
