I've never seen anyone saying to trust that democracy will fix things. I've seen, and been, people saying to always vote, but I don't see anyone saying to only vote.

I know some people who can't accept that the system isn't functional anymore, simply because they would have complete mental collapse at their powerlessness in the face of the present evil.

I probably do too, but I don't really spend much time with that kind of people. I prefer to surround myself with people who turn righteous fury into resolve.

I see a lot of people say "oh so I should do nothing??" when they're told voting does not matter. Seems like a whole bunch of people do just vote and put their faith in the electoral system.
