National elections have become such a farce anyways. A single senator or representative can change the political landscape, yet a single citizen cannot. I cannot vote for Senator Wyden, nor can I vote against Feinstein. Rubio is unfazed with my voting and McConnell couldn't care less about my opinions. Yet, these handful of senators have shaped the issues that I care about to be what they are today. The best I can do is not vote for Hatch, but his death from old age seems to be the looming reason for his departure from the senate.
When someone voted in by a single state can influence the entire country like that, it makes everyone feel powerless. I'd rather give my money to a company that has my interests in mind throughout the years in exchange for products and services than dump thousands of dollars into someone's campaign like a drunken bet at a Las Vegas casino every couple of years.
