    They want you to believe voting is useless. It isn’t. It remains the only effective peaceful strategy to reform the system. But you have to vote, and you have to participate and demand representation.

      i think there really is a crisis regarding democracy (especially in the US but also in europe). it is very difficult to get enough media coverage and visibility unless you are a millionaire of friends with millionaires. it’s almost like a closed club. i think what exacerbates the problem is that many americans view being a millionaire als being successful whereas in other places people who are excessively rich are rather viewed as reckless or corrupt.
