you insist that the problem is we’re just not voting hard enough.

I think you should read my other comments here and in other places, but in short many like OP reject voting and are also wondering why they have no say in government after elections. Some engagement with the system is needed. I am saying we need our own party and to aim for local elections. I certainly hope you are aware that on election day there is more than one race happening or that there are other midterms. Blue no matter who should be a last resort.

Also can we not use Newsweek on Lemmy? It is a tabloid chasing vapid clicks.
