Sure, if you only vote in general elections and only vote for federal positions.

Local and primary elections allow for much more opportunity for change. But only if you participate.

Not usually. Last time I voted in a local election the candidates every position looked like looked like:

School board, two of the following candidates:

Aaron Hitler(R): reverse integration, apply more discipline to students, stop paying teachers so damn much, get the globalist bankers out of our children's education!

Phillipa Marinetti(D): replace teachers with ai, increase budget by 500%, turn all facilities into data centers and create a machine to feed the weakest children into for public entertainment!

david yutani-vonweyland(independent): put the kids to work in our shiny new factory! Create jobs!

Sucks for you, i guess. But thats not true of everywhere, and often you can often help encourage better candidates by prosthelytizing your ideals to those around you.

We do not live in vacuums, and treating every issue as something you have to solve completely by yourself is a recipe for failure.

Yes. By yourself. Because when two people collaborate its called a government and one of them needs to be in charge

Cripes, they are getting more anti social in their responses. Hey Zorque, if folks don't live in a vacuum, how come cops are allowed to murder me in broad daylight, while my governor can seat in es mansion watching us get bombed on in 4K?
