This tweet is actually impressive. I quite honestly didn't think there was anyone left in the "both sides were equally bad" camp at this point.
It's almost like they get that voting is about the illusion of participation, cheering for Red vs. Blue doesn't matter, real influence happens outside the polling booth, and they must find meaning in their own lives. Damn those kids and their wisdom! Gives me hope...https://twitter.com/MarkusJRussell/status/1019744216224854023 …

Not equal, but in the space of all possible forms of social organization doable today, including formal & informal rules and who has what roles, the difference based on election results is tiny. Then multiply by the miniscule probability your vote swings the election.

Sure, meaning outside of politics is good, and true, lots of power is manifest through means beyonds the ballot box. But do you not think that different voting pattens beget different outcomes?

Slightly different outcomes, sure. Just insignificant compared to the change needed, or that happens through adopting new systems, or influencing other people, or pretty much anything besides casting a single vote.

Surely criticizing the young without first listening to them will show them the error of their ways!
