Have you never heard of Political Theater? Politics literally are like sport for them. Voting only exists to give us the illusion of "freedom and participation in the system". I've used this example many times, but for basic websites, we vet users to make sure they aren't bots/spammers/trolls, etc; don't you think they vet all the prime-time candidates who make it onto TV to make sure they're willing to play ball for the potential outcome of them becoming POTUS? How do you think things got so bad and corrupt? What do you think people like Jeffery Epstein exist for?

Do you really think your next door neighbor could start a campaign and the media will give him his fair share of attention and let him say whatever he wants, even if he isn't crazy, has great ideas, tells the truth, but doesn't have the money to pay for the air time and everything else a political campaign entails? They've made it so politics is pay-to-play, and who has the money to play? Do you realize how much money it would cost to run a campaign, and the people funding the left, usually are the same as the people funding the right?

On top of all of this, how can you fix a broken and corrupt system, by using an extension of that corrupt and broken system that's also corrupt and broken (aka voting) - did you know dead people vote? Seriously, at this point in the game, we're beyond voting. All politicians say one thing on the campaign trail and do another in office, even Trump. Picking the "lesser" of two evils is still picking evil. Voting is not the solution.

If everyone in the country decided not to vote as peaceful protest, that would lead to more change than people playing the game of "voting" and chaotically rioting in the streets and burning their own cities down as they are now, I bet.
