I will try not to say anything else about uspol today, but here's a little reminder that politics describes not just voting or partisanship, but the interlocking systems through which power is exercised, by whom, and to what ends. Voting is one of those systems, and so is partisanship, but so are soup kitchens, and needle exchanges, and zoning hearings, and commerce, and on and on. Voting is entry-level political engagement. if you're fired up about the state of things, look for your next step.
