Voting in a western “democracy” is like that bit in the opening intro of The Simpsons when Marge is driving with the baby and the baby has a toy steering wheel. The baby thinks she’s driving the car but it’s just a fake toy to keep her busy and let her feel like she’s participating.

@yogthos Voting works. It just isn't enough to _only_ vote. The minority interest groups who consistently show up to the polls benefit when we disenfranchise ourselves with this kind of defeatism.
