I'd like to think they're all just Russian trolls but increasingly, I think some people are just selfish or dumb.

To keep voting blue/red no matter is how you create the very situation we are in. Punishing politicians is how you get them to work for you and not for themselves and pacs.
Young voters not voting in primaries is how we got into this situation.
You want politicians who represent you? Gotta vote in primaries! But the elderly, who are a smaller slice of the population, absolutely shit kick the youth in terms of voting in primaries.
Want change? Gotta vote even when it's not trending on social media.
I do, I vote in primaries and my local elections.
That's great! Keep it up! Encourage others!
The problem with democracy is even when you and I do the right stuff, it's all about encouraging those millions of others. And too many millions of younger voters don't have your decency/notion of the body politic/whatever your reasons for voting are.
