Most Americans don't bother with learning the history of how power has been consolidated from the local to the state, state to federal, and to the federal executive. They don't know that it just takes 5% of their general election vote for President to bypass ballot access obstructionism nationally, to put a new platform on every ballot. They choose not to understand how a third party choice is probably more valuable if it repeatedly does not win.

None of it's super-complicated. The vast majority of us Americans just don't really give a fuck. We like to talk about how much we care. Then we risk nothing, sacrifice nothing, trust no one. It's just pillow talk, baby.
