I mean, isn’t that the whole point? You should vote every time, and if you vote right things will be more good or at least less bad, and then you do it again. It’s only very few years, and you don’t have anything more important to do.
And the idea that things don’t change is so fucking dumb. Don’t tell me Obama to Trump wasn’t a change. Christ.
What people are really whining about is that they want a quick fix, and they’re not getting it because that’s just not possible even if half the politicians weren’t rotten to the core. But let’s not pretend there won’t be “real change” in America if Trump is elected again.
Fucking abortion rights were taken away because enough people didn’t show up to vote against trump, and now the Supreme Court is a joke. That’s a change.
Yes, the point is for it to be a distraction mechanism to make people feel like they have a voice and some power without actually giving them any. All we get is the illusion of choice and a different puppet at the top of the pyramid scheme.
