    What politicians want us to believe:

    Voting: changes the system

    Doing politics: it’s for professionals

    How it really works:

    Voting: the possibility to kick bad persons out

    Doing politics: changes the system

      Only locally, at least here in the US.

      Nationally you have no power politically unless you’re a billionaire or available for purchase by a billionaire. Thankfully, at least locally, good things are still possible.
