    They designed a system that’s broken for us, works perfectly for them and demand we participate in it

        Then democrats better start earning votes instead of demanding them. "We are not them’ isnt good enough.

          In a democracy the citizens aren’t customers that need to be courted (though they often behave that way, to their own detriment). Rather, the citizens are participants. Sometimes, maybe usually, the whole process isn’t fun and enjoyable. Sometimes elections are like root canals: undesirable, but the alternative is a lot more pain and problems down the road.
