I watched people’s apathy result in both the Bush and Trump administrations. Both were utter disasters. Voting for the party that’s not an utter disaster is the obvious choice.
But it’s also not the only thing to do. I think the huge mistake of the Obama Administration was figuring that we elected this guy and he’ll fix everything for us. Doesn’t work like that. There’s a hundred things to do at the state and municipal levels, and a lot of them will have a more fundamental effect on your life than anything at the federal level.
