        I’ve voted in every local and national election as soon as I turned 18. Protested in George Floyd protests. I’m 30 now. Shit takes way too long.

          Protesting is for you to feel good. Unless you’re protesting for civil rights and being arrested for breaking an unjust law.

          If you want to influence the process, you should volunteer for a candidate’s campaign and forget protests. Sorry, but it’s the truth.

            While I generally agree with you, protesting has a place. Protesting alone is useless, but protests in concert with working for concrete policy changes is a force multiplier.

        I live in a formerly purple county, one of the wealthiest in the nation, that the Democrats have entirely abandoned despite being able to win local elections.

        The only reason I have any choice at all most of the time is that I know I can choose to leave my votes for local offices blank.
