I just wish doing what was right and fair was the most important factor in how politics worked. Doesn't sound like it's asking for too much, but it most certainly is. I'm still going to vote in every election, but it's moreso because I feel like it's an obligation/responsibility to go vote and not because I'm excited to do so or think anything will actually change.
