    We have every right to be pissed off. I followed every rule you’re supposed to follow. And I’m still worried about retiring in the future. The system is fucking stupid. At my job, every system I implement or touch can be changed. Change is a part of life. But for some fucking reason, this country can’t change shit. We just sit in it as everything gets worse while everyone who is struggling continues to struggle even more. The rich get richer. America blows.

            Protesting is for you to feel good. Unless you’re protesting for civil rights and being arrested for breaking an unjust law.

            If you want to influence the process, you should volunteer for a candidate’s campaign and forget protests. Sorry, but it’s the truth.

          I live in a formerly purple county, one of the wealthiest in the nation, that the Democrats have entirely abandoned despite being able to win local elections.

          The only reason I have any choice at all most of the time is that I know I can choose to leave my votes for local offices blank.
