Trust me buddy. If you didn't vote and/or read a newspaper EVER in your life you wouldn't know the difference. Sad truth but it's the truth. People devote their entire lives to politics and don't make a change so don't try and say that you're making a difference.
Truth be told, if you walked away from reading news about politics and trying to convince people of your viewpoint.. you'd probably live a happier life.
World will be the same whether it's X, Y or Z.
We run this country, not the politicians. The reason things are so fucked up is because of people like you who can't be bothered to care, and because we give them far too much slack and leniency to do what they want.
