Instead of persevering, how about you fix the problem that no other developed country has?
What do you want me to do? Wave my hands and say some magic words and presto have everything be fixed? It doesn't fucking work that way.
I do what I can within my means. I vote every election for candidates supporting gun and mental healthcare reforms, I do my best to educate my less politically aware friends, I support activist organizations, etc... I'm fucking sorry if I'm not personally out there torching politicians houses or whatever the fuck you expect me to do, but I've got people that depend on me not being in fucking prison.
