The truth is all politicians S U C C

But you still need to vote for the ones that suck a little less because that’s how good change happens. People that bring up how politicians suck and that’s the reason they don’t vote make no sense to me.

I know you didn’t ask but I am just so passionate about politics and a lot of people are always like “Oh, so I’m supposed to choose the lesser of two evils?”

And like… yeah. Yeah you are. You really really are. That’s how democracy works.

Democracies should not be selecting the “lesser of two evils” – they should be selecting the better of two goods. It’s a subtle difference, but still a very important distinction. Of course, what should be, and what is, are two very different things. 

Voting is a civic duty, but what people in America do is not voting, and hasn’t been for some time now. By all means, continue to vote, but do not count on that system alone to bring about the changes you wish to see from your government.
