A reasonable small group of so called 'people' are making life terrible for soo soo many
We really need a better system, voting can do only so much and look where it got us. again
Remember, we are with a lot more
Don't fight each other, fight the few who try to make things worse for their gain
@stux 42,8% of people in my area voted in the recent elections, but 100% of them have issues they can't stop complaining about.
The trouble starts when people think they don't have to take responsibility for making the world a better place. When they just want to complain and complain until the sun goes supernova.
Complaining won't make change happen. You're going to have to put the work in yourself.
If you don't put the effort in, the bad guys win by default.
and do what, email your local representative who will ignore you anyway?
people complain because making change is not just hard, but harder than it needs to be.
especially when you don't have the legal right to do so by yourself, the people who do have that right are constantly trying to make your life worse, and you're too mentally spent trying to make rent/utilities to try and constantly rein them in.
also make the terrible changes REALLY slow (*cough* #chatcontrol *cough*). that is guaranteed to get people bored and hand you victory.
really, the only way to make democracy work is to take the emotion out of politics - frame law-making as problem solving and give everyone the ability to propose and vote through laws directly after coming to a consensus.
@breathOfLife @stux I put myself on the list for the local political party which most adhered to my personal views. I campaigned for this party. I'm working on learning how the system works and am trying to find a dossier I can make a difference in. It will be a long road and I have much to learn, but I put myself out there to help make the situation in my immediate area better over time.
There's always a way to make a difference. Find your own way to do so.
