Voting is a tool that works as well as the system it’s used in is working. When things are going well, voting is incredibly useful, when things are going poorly, all it can do is nudge things a tiny bit, rarely to any avail. Still, if someone’s got me tied up, you bet I’m struggling against those ropes, even if the movement isn’t much. I’m not just struggling, though - I’m also yelling and biting. Do everything you can to fight back, regardless of the utility.
