I don't entirely buy that. A politician can lie through his teeth to get elected, and then we're stuck with them for 2-6 years with no way to stop them. If you do your due diligence, vote with your brain, but then your candidate does the exact opposite of what you've elected them to do, you can't do a damn thing until the next election cycle.

Voting doesn't fix the massively corrupt core of Washington politics
