    Totally agree with you here. Also “for show” means that someone is doing a show, which is a weirdly conspiratorial take.

    Yeah, the rich conspire against everyone else and influence both parties in major ways, but the US also is a democracy, you know, where people vote.

        Voting does help American citizens. Not a lot but it does, there is all kind of legislation which has a positive impact.

        I agree that it’s not enough. I agree that other measures need to be taken if possible.
