> I've been there, thinking my vote mattered...

I wasn't referring to merely voting. I was referring to actually getting into politics and enacting change from the inside. If you just vote, you aren't enacting any change. You're signaling your belief that others are better able to handle this then you.



Then add 'thinking my friend getting into local politics would start changing things from the inside' to that list (yes, also factual with that time of my life). The point being, it's a state of thinking that we just need to democracy harder to fix the problems.

To accurately evaluate systems, one has to step back and look at their actual (emergent) behavior, not just their purported (axiomatic) behavior.
