No, there’s actually a lot more of us than them. The combination of gerrymandering and 2 senators per state gives them far more representation than they should have, then add in non-conservative voters being much less likely to vote and they end up with minority rule. But it’s not inevitable - if everyone else voted in the same percentages as they do, they wouldn’t have a majority in Congress or be in the White House ever again.
If your solution to a problem is “Everyone should just…” then it’s not a solution. Plus it sounds like not only is the controller disconnected, it’s designed to not work even if it is connected.
Besides, I’m still voting. I’m not going to stop, because it is a helpful illustration of how little it actually can change things. 24 years straight and I still live in a shithole ruled by idiots.
Voting seems like the least effective thing you could do
And yet, their supporters vote all the time. Now why would they do that if it’s so useless? Also, not voting at all is the least you can do.
Because they know there’s more of them than us and can win easily. I’d be a lot more enthused about it if I got results, too.

If your solution to the problem is “just give up”, then it’s even less of a solution.
I’d be banned if I posted my solution.

It may well come to bloody revolution. But I appreciate that you’re saving that as a last resort.
