...change the culture not the politics...change the culture around inaction and complacency...
Yup, that's what I've been realizing recently. A huge core problem is that the people aren't educated or aware enough to demand change. You need a solid people to get a solid government. You have to wake the people up, and then things fall in line from there.
...only thing you can do about that inside the system is vote in the primary, but most of the time that doesn't actually matter...
You should still absolutely do it, though. There are always a few high profile primaries that can change the politics/culture both. Brandon Herrera vs Tony Gonzales. Casey Putsch vs Vivek Ramaswamy. Those would be big swings, and I hope they go the right way.
But culture is more like a swamp than a river and you can change it a little bit at a time around you. That's what you should do, and that's what Asmon is doing...
Well said!

Good way to think about it.
