I don’t think it’s fucked up. I think it’s realistic. We need to change the way representation works in the US, but it’s built and manufactured to support the status quo, so that’s the way it works.

Actions outside of voting though, there are plenty available. Expecting voting to be the thing to make things work is probably faulty.

I also expect the republican party to come crashing down soon. My expectation is that the democratic party takes the place of the right wing party and something else takes the left. At that point, things will change. Right now though, status quo is the voting options.
