I'll say it again for anyone still listening:
Bitcoin does not need politicians to succeed, it just needs them to get out of the fucking way.

Looking to politicians for solutions is like shopping for perfume in a cesspool.
Pro tip: rooting for the political gang that promises you the most "number go up" is not a strategy for lessening their power over you, any more than voting for the prison warden will open the gates of freedom.
Bitcoin, and now Nostr, are both technologies for recapturing your sovereignty and making politicians, whatever their craven power fantasies might be, irrelevant.

A surfer does not control the wave, only his board. The wave controls nothing, its destiny fixed to crash at the shore.
Be the surfer, not the wave.

The best, simple explanation of Nostr I've come up with is, it's a place you can't be cancelled, but nobody has to listen to your bullshit either.

Voting is consent to the outcome and the system that produced it.
Don't encourage the fuckers.
Elections are like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
