There are better and more permanent ways to change the behavior of oligarchs, but something tells me you’re not cool enough for that yet. Whereas if you keep doing the exact same thing that has never worked, That’s called “insanity.”

And the people in charge would rather have less people vote, so you’re not withholding anything, you’re just playing into their hands. Don’t be fooled into thinking not voting is somehow going to do something, Jimmy, that’s a known route to failure.
