No, of course the answer isn't to "vote really hard", but that phrasing is simply rhetoric built to disparage the poster you're responding to. Everyone has only one vote. But the people who make noise, the people who are politically active, gain power far beyond their single vote. And get enough of them together -- it doesn't necessarily take that many -- and you can orchestrate some real change.
So now our livelihood has resorted to a shouting match? Thanks but no thanks.
Voting is like praying, where if you pray with all your passion then god might listen. But there's also the saying pray for what you want, work for what you need.
Your not wanting to participate in this understandable but if you don't then you have no guarantee of retaining what you have worked for anyway.
People wonder why bitcoin is rising. It's because their competition is total crap. Government issued security is no security at all.
I really don't like the glibness of that sentiment, even if the idea is fine. As a voter or constituent, yeah, fight for Social Security, try to maintain it.
But as an investor? Recognize that your personal view has approximately no impact on whether Social Security exists unless you run for high office or devote your life to the topic. Make your best guess and save accordingly.
People shouldn't make their individual choices around the political views they support, because most individuals have virtually no influence on national outcomes.
