"If voting worked, they wouldn't let us do it."

I think that's a self defeating attitude. If voting didn't work, why would the rich spend their untold billions on campaigns and media ads that are only minimally successful at swaying anyone's vote?

Look at Evangelical Christians, they have their interests represented heavily in congress, every state legislature, and they totally control many local governments. Not just because they vote when they have something at stake, but they vote every election, like clockwork. Why would a congressperson go after millennial votes if they'll vote during the presidential election, and then leave them hanging during the off year elections?

Psst. Hey kid. It's a joke. Mark Twain came up with it first.
