          Nothing. And that’s what we all have to do, since voting doesn’t fix 99% of the problems we need to solve. It’s like trying to build muscle by studying math. Will studying math help you when you need to track your progress and understand angles and pulleys? Yes. But studying math isn’t going to build muscle. Nothing is stopping me from going to the gym and also studying math, but studying math isn’t actually the thing that will build muscle.

          Voting isn’t solving any of our problems. Can it help a little bit with some of them? Maybe. But we need to be honest about what it will solve.

              Hey, don’t let me stop you from signing up for trigonometry in order to build strength.

              I’ll be at the gym.

                  Why stop at two things? You could also be praying, buying crystals, and never changing your lucky underwear

                    Because those don’t do anything. Voting imperially, factually, undeniable makes some difference, you already admitted that.
