This is a vapid answer, like "write your senator". Of course I do, every chance I get. It doesn't seem to have meaningfully affected our political process.
It isn't. I'll expand on it. Tell your wife, your cousin, your bartender why you voted. Tell them how this CVE system is critical, and why they should care about voting for people that truly understand this. If you vote and influence others to vote, you're solving the problem fully and directly.
Voting is all but useless in deep-(any color) states though, that's the problem. I mean... yes, it's the decent thing to do, but in the end it's wasted effort in the American political system.
That's only true if you think "vote" means "vote once every 4 years, for the President".
Even if the only political action you ever do is informed voting, if you're voting in every election, knowing as much as you can about the candidates, then you have a real chance of starting to move the needle.
