I vote

Then tbh you’re not one of the people I was talking about. I hope you’ll put in the extra credit and join a local movement if one gets started, but if you put in the effort on that one day every two years, you’re way ahead of about a third of the country

I watch an ungodly amount of porn and still manage to do some basic keeping up on politics. The problem isn’t the other things people want to do, it’s that being up-to-date on politics is straight up a faux pas. Everyone can agree that our current government sucks, but start trying to tell the vast majority of people about anything specific, such as, I dunno, how Mitch McConnell stole Supreme Court appointments from Obama, their eyes glaze over. People think it’s cool to bitch about your own problems, but if you learn enough to do anything about it and advocate for political action, you become a tryhard.
