And it’s rather obvious how voters being jaded and cynical allows shitty people to stay in office and disillusion even more voters while enriching themselves and making life worse for regular people.
This is a cycle (and self-fulfilling prophecy) that we have to break. Voter apathy is the problem, and solving that would force politicians to work for us or be replaced by someone who will. These people like their power and know that no one will replace them. If we show up and make them know that their job is literally dependent on working for us, they’ll do it. But something something both sides, something something voting is pointless.
They’re not the same, but it’s easy to see how people become too jaded and cynical to vote.
