Absolutely. People like George and Jon Steward are fantastic at shining a light at the bullshit, but their solution is either apathy or just laughing at the bullshit and moving on. Both are akin to giving up.
All their bits should end up with the message don’t just vote, get involved in LOCAL government. Don’t just wait to vote for president and expect things to get better.
The GOP controls everything because they started the local level, from city councils to librarians, these fuckers are everywhere

It’s an odd reaction many seem to share
Simply recognizing a man’s work doesn’t elevate him to messiah or prophet
Also, that bit about not voting goes hand in hand with this bit as well
It boils down to the question of why vote if neither option will bring about real and lasting positive change?
Just as it does in this bit that voting is only there to give the population the illusion of choice
