I think people saying politics is a farce and both parties are in on it aren't popular because then people are confronted with, well what is the solution. People like talking politics and voting because they feel like part of something bigger and it kind of feels nice, warm and fuzzy, that the politicians seem to be fighting for our vote. We feel wanted.

If not voting what should we do, armed revolt? No one really wants to do that, too much work and likely no reward but jail or getting killed.
