Maybe if everyone..........

But they won't. You know that, I know that, random raccoons in dumpsters know that.

Is that what you've observed? What we've seen is that not holding political parties accountable for their past actions leads to them ignoring everyone except their donors.

You don't have a solution if your solution starts with "if everyone would just". That's a hope or a fantasy. People won't just.

The solution starts with you, Janet.

You need to stop pushing the idea that it doesn't matter who you vote for and the poisonous idea that all politicians are equally corrupt. There are some very dangerous groups who have brainwashed you into pushing the very attitude that lets them get away with slowly eroding democracy.

I have never once pushed for people to not vote or that it doesn't matter who you vote for. I don't know what about this conversation made you think that.
