    Like all meaningful change, you have to convince enough people to get involved and to do so more often and consistently than every four years at the Presidential general election. It’s this belief that the change is going to come from the parties that is the core problem. Everyone complains about having to vote for the lesser of two evils, but then they do it and go back to sleep for another four years. At best, they just gripe about the government never acknowledging that they are responsible.

      That’s nice, we’re doing that. The people going to sleep for four years don’t want change, they don’t want things to improve, they want to complain so it seems like they’re worse off than they really are. You’re not going to convince them until their lives are ruined.
