Too many people have too much power and control over the system. We just have the illusion of influence.
Petitions are the perfect example, it gives people the illusion that they’re having an effect. But in reality, when those 10k petitions are hit, it’s up to the houses discretion whether they even want to talk about it.
I mean, I just listed an example of voting making a considerable geopolitical difference. Okay, yeah, voting most likely isn’t going to usher in an age of anarcho-syndicalism any time soon but telling people not to engage with the democratic process because it ‘doesn’t matter’ is a bit disingenuous.
If voting mattered they wouldn’t let you do it.
