    I show up every time and it feels like people still make decisions for me.

    What keeps me voting is realizing that real life is disappointing and I’ll never be happy.

      I know it’s tough, but try not to give in to pessimism. A better life is possible. It seems far and out of reach now, but it can be done. When people get too pessimistic, that’s when they don’t do anything.

        I disagree. Voting with no expectation of it doing anything stops me from being disappointed when it doesn’t do anything. Back when I thought it would help I considered giving up because it wasn’t doing anything.

        Then again, I have doubts that I’m actually a human so maybe for real humans it doesn’t work that way.
