Honestly voting now is to little too late. The Overton window isn't anywhere near the point of allowing actually meaningful change and the 4-5 year cycle of voting is too slow. If we really want to solve anything, the change should be systemic. Still, voting is important.

Of course voting alone won't do it. We need a lot more. Holding billionaires to account will go a long way as well.
