Yeah! Also, the various voter suppression tactics, gerrymandering, two party system, majority of elected politicians being in the pocket of moneyed interests, working class people being too overworked to want to bother with interacting with a system that consistently does very little for them… I mean, I vote in every local/national election, even when it’s just ballot measures, and I’m disappointed when people I know don’t/ can’t vote, but I also can understand why people with difficult situations don’t/ can’t vote.
My one exception is people that didn’t vote in the '24 presidential election to punish democratic leadership. Those people intentionally chose fascism and chaos, hand in hand with the maga crowd.

Wages have been stagnant or dropping compared to cost of living since the fucking SEVENTIES!
How many more decades will it take for you to understand that the problem is the system and the ones in charge of it rather than the mostly powerless masses oppressed by it?

Then get off your ass and vote in the elections and primaries and get change going there bucko. Instead anywhere from 50% to 40% of American are more than willing to do fuck all and just bitch on the internet of why things never change.
