    That’s the same number it’s been for 100 years. You’re never going to change that by pointing it out so what is the goal of this conversation?

      That is the kind of aggressive apatheist mentality which got the US into this situation in the first place.

        I’m not apathetic, I’m realistic. No one has moved that needle significantly in 100 years so talking about it like you’re going to make it happen seems like setting yourself up to fail. Work with what you have instead of wishing you could have more. That’s how progress is made.

        No, voter suppression and the two party system are what got us in this situation.

        We don’t have such low voter participation because of vibes. It’s structural.
