Vote. Every. Time.
Voting prevents things from getting worse, it doesn't make things better.
Not sure I agree. Obamacare is better than then nothing-burger that was available before if you didn't get healthcare through an employer. Biden is trying to at least get some student loan relief through congress. Getting the right people elected to state governments can help make abortions available again in some states. (If you're a right-wing person then choose the opposite topics for your examples.)
People who are defeatist about voting come across as complainers who are too lazy to get off their butts to help.

Many of the elderly retirees are already forced to choose between living in a vehicle or paying rent and starving. If SS is still a thing by the time im old enough to retire that monthly check wouldnt be enough to even afford a hyperinflated big mac let alone rent.
If you don't own your own property by the time you retire, then you're fucked.
