Voting matters if you ever want to stop situations in which 50 billionaires think it is okay to try to buy an election. Nobody likes this crap.

Basically how I imagine it’s going to be for along time. Federal is mostly nothing but damage control, state is the same depending on where you are, local is where you have the most impact
