I've voted in every single election since turning 18 and have always voted Dem. So have many of my friends and family.

And yet here we are.

People don't believe in our system because our system has produced terrible results. Especially when compared to countries that have produced consistently higher standards of living in our lifetimes like Norway or Denmark. Or even Germany.

You didn't answer my question. What. Does. Apathy. Do.

Why are you accusing me of apathy, when I just told you that I voted for Dems in every election that I've ever been eligible to vote in?
