    I voted for the least capitalist party, but the most capitalist party won. Now the landlords are getting tax rebates and public services are running further into the ground.

    A big chunk of apathetic people didn’t vote at all. By the time I retire (whatever that means) everything will be privatised.

    Climate change please hurry up.

          Is that what you’ve observed? What we’ve seen is that not holding political parties accountable for their past actions leads to them ignoring everyone except their donors.

            You don’t have a solution if your solution starts with “if everyone would just”. That’s a hope or a fantasy. People won’t just.

              The solution starts with you, Janet.

              You need to stop pushing the idea that it doesn’t matter who you vote for and the poisonous idea that all politicians are equally corrupt. There are some very dangerous groups who have brainwashed you into pushing the very attitude that lets them get away with slowly eroding democracy.

                I have never once pushed for people to not vote or that it doesn’t matter who you vote for. I don’t know what about this conversation made you think that.

      Don’t want to get your own hands dirty actually making a change?
