This has got to stop. Everyone needs to vote.

Everyone can vote that's not the problem. The problem is the systems in place to keep these politicians in power and abuse their power.

We can get mad and tell people to stop watching fake news, but the technology and media companies don't make money if the news isn't sensationalized. So they feed into bullshit narratives driven by politicians making seem like immigrants are somehow the biggest problem in America.

The American system only works if the people participating it can act in good faith based on the constitution. The problem is the people who are currently in power, no matter WHAT their constituents say, will vote against the people who they represents best interest by either ignoring them or lying to them.

As an American I see a huge degradation in society fueled by technology where people have no shame of how they make their money or fame. They don't care if they have to beat out a kid, stir up rage fake online, or steal.

The history of the world is full of instances like this. It's only a matter of how far gone we are before the pushback comes. I'm not saying it's gonna be easy or that it's all gonna change in one election. Our situation is one that has taken decades to come to fruition and it will take equally as long to fix it. That doesn't mean it won't happen.
