    Most people can see that their choices result in little to no change without anyone having to point to it, and will sit out elections regardless.

    Democrats refusing to address that apathy is the problem, not people making it known.

      If both parties are equally “bad”, why would this be a problem for just Democrats?

      The more obvious answer is that the two “sides” are working class vs. super-wealthy. The wealthy keep control by appealing to voters from every background.

      IMHO, the way to solve this issue is to vote for candidates who are willing to say “Tax the rich”. (Or “Tax the Epstein class”, I really like that motto!)
