You live in the country with the most resilient system serving ruling class interests. There's so many levels to keep you occupied trying to penetrate, but you will never win this game if you play it like that.

It is quite rare for an election as major as a senator's not be won by someone backed by money interests. Even their opponents are usually backed by interests. The mere prospect of running requires funds that most people don't qualify for. Just check the wealth of the poorest senator.

But even if you manage to penetrate this, you've only won one seat. Is that enough to make meaningful change? I'm yet to see that in action.

But even if your party of choice wins the Senate. If you're anything older than a teen, you'll remember the "ahh, darn! We only have the house but not the Senate!". But when you win both, "ahh, we have Congress but not the president! This maniac just throws executive orders left and right! We're so powerless". But then you win the presidency and suddenly we all forgot about executive orders. Oh wait, you forgot about the supreme court! Guys we just have to wait until they die. Don't worry, it'll happen any minute now. Oh no don't die during trump! Should've died during Obama. Oh wait one of them did. Wait what?

Yeah if you want meaningful change, this ain't it.
