MODERATORS
Fair enough. But if you feel they are ineffective and or pampered, then you vote them out.
If you can't vote them out, if the majority is disagreeing with you, then you have to look into the reasons as to why.
When you see them cutting funds on education, you have to think not just how that affects everyone in that moment, but what does that do to the next generation, when they grow up and become voters that just vote the other side is worse.
I truly get the frustration of feeling held hostage by the popular mindset, but we live in a society where we all get a voice, and I don't think we have figured out a way of telling someone they're being nonsensical with their vote and ask them to reconsider, without them getting emotional and overly combative about it. That's a hard nut to crack.
And now these days we have to also fight bots and shills who are purposely being intellectually dishonest to sway thinking to shape a narrative that is positive to just their interests, and not to argue to a solution that is just for all.
Without truth, the center does not hold.
That's not how a two party system works though, is it?
You choose between "more of the same" or "something horrendous". Otherwise you might as well have thrown your vote away.
Depends on which of many parties you are speaking of.
