Because you have to actually do something to make the government spend it on you. You can’t just sit behind a screen and type angrily. You have to personally show up and engage politically, economically and culturally to force the power structure to work for you. Bernie is right there trying to do that for you and Americans refused him.
Yes and no. Engaging won’t do shit. We need to organize into unions, separate from work, to cooperate on what we agree on, left and right, as defined currently from inside the colon of the oligarchy. We need to go straight back into the sun, then get our bearings. Reject labels, organize.
Yes it does do shit, relative to how good you get at doing it. The impact is real. Sure groups of people will be needed to get significant changes but every single person thinking their participation doesn’t do anything is why everyone stays disengaged. Show up even if others don’t, until others do. Getting people to engage is also worth of engaging.
