Is anyone else too busy just trying to get through the day to care about shit like this? Politics, war, weather, gender arguments- who gives a fuck? I can't afford a place to live.

That's the idea, you're so busy dealing with the water coming into the boat you can't fix the leak.

Yep, and there's only a tiny spec of land left and it's full of wealthy people that don't want us to reach it

In theory, this is why we have representatives... outside of occasional drastic and personal decisions, you should be able to trust your representatives with ensuring America does the day to day shit that makes sense... and if a representative goes batshit insane talking about Jewish Space Lasers or pouring immense resources into an unjust war, then we vote them out and move on.

Unfortunately, the internet and two party politics are really fucking up our ability to delegate to our representatives.

Yep, this is a feature of the system, not a bug
