Every now and tne I have to pull a lever and vote for someone. Every now and then I express an opinion. I'd like to understand the positions of the people I vote for, and don't vote for. When I speak, I'd like not to be a dupe.
There is a state observed across the animal kingdom of learned helplessness. The individual creature is so accustomed to pain and disappointment, that all hope is lost. The individual becomes immobile and passive--devoid of resistance. I'm not there yet :))

You know what I think of voting 🙂
As for learned helplessness, sometimes you really are powerless, and it’s better to see that than to keep battering yourself against a brick wall.
And every now and then, resistance means refusing to play the game at all.
I don't think that will work for me. That's what a lot of people in this country do. Then the monsters take over. Somebody has to speak up. Somebody has to resist. If I didn't I think I'd choke :))
