Sure. First get us a majority in both houses, then we can talk about meaningful policy change. Until then it's just virtue signaling. People keep expecting miracles to happen when they won't even do the bare minimum to show up to polls and local elections. It's so stupid.

People don't vote when they don't feel represented. Kind of weird to vote first and hope for policy after.

I wonder if people don't feel represented because incremental change is not sexy or exciting. Policy takes time, the Revolution is more interesting to talk about. I don't know. It seems people have weird conceptions about how politics works.
