I notice when I post about a problem it gets attention. But when I post about candidates who would fix the problem, not so much. And that's a problem. Electoral politics isn't everything but it can't be left out of the equation if we really want to solve the problems of the world

I think many people are just understandably jaded and cynical towards this system, and are tired of empty promises from politicians. Even if the politicians are very well-meaning, people are just used to having their high expectations being crushed by a corrupt, oppressive system

I get that, but it's our democracy we're talking about here. We have ancestors who have literally died for our right to at least stay in the struggle. The system is rigged, it's f--ked up, but it's not unchangeable. Giving up amounts to conspiring with it.

Do you think that it can change fast enough using electoral politics to save us from the cliff we are racing toward? Biden is doubling down on all the shit we didn't want him to do. There is a tipping point at which politics are worthless.
