No, I'm just realistic that the way our system works, getting "involved" means nothing in my view other than to help/enable people that in my view have done little in helping the people/make this country a better place and largely exists to serve itself. Why would a rational person want to support this given the results, lack thereof? The only thing that means anything is one's vote in the end. Given how I feel both team R and D have been running our country at all levels into the ground, voting for "other" I think is a valid way to express one's displeasure. That's the ultimate "complaint" in the end. And the only one that counts in the end. The rest is the window dressing.
