Comment on Study: Congress literally doesn’t care what you think. The preferences of the average American appear to have only a miniscule, near-zero, statistically non-significant impact upon public policy.

  You don’t vote for people who don’t represent you.

  Our first past the post voting system is mathematically flawed to always result in a two party system through strategic voting.

  People are not free to vote for who best represents them because they would let someone who represents them even less win the election.

    For that first part to work we must vote for better candidates at the lower level and stop voting for the media selected consensus candidate in primaries.

    Otherwise we’re just disengaging from the system and letting two people pass the presidency back and forth.

  Take a moment to stop focusing on the day-to-day so we can go out and water our trees.
