It's way easier to vote as a middle-aged white dude than as anybody else.
I can agree with most of that, especially with representation. I don't feel represented by either party, thus I'm registered as independent but tend to vote more for democratic candidates. I fully realize that white male is normally the easy mode of life, though the config file of my game apparently has been corrupted as it certainly hasn't been easy for me for the last decade or so. But it certainly could be worse.
Regardless of feeling that you're not being represented in a two-party system, which I fully appreciate, I think there is clearly a worse party that can be voted against. And while that is far from ideal, it's something.
