If half the people who bitch about society actually voted in local and primary elections we'd have a much different country.
Yeah... I have so little patience for those types. I've been voting since the moment I was able. I do not get why so many believe abstaining is a good move when there are so many problems caused by Boomers and those who came before us.
I vote myself, but I can kinda understand people who don't. We already have practically no power at the polls; America is literally an oligarchy. The rail strike was a perfect example, they really are completely for sale. A minute spent on direct action is more productive than a minute spent voting.
