Haven't watched the video, so I'm guessing the secret is that they just stay home instead of voting?

It further goes into how the decline of organization has not only impacted us politically, but socially, wherein you can't even get a beer with your buddies because you're just so damn exhausted from working the 15 jobs you need to support yourself.

She is obsessed with the grassroots organizing shit. She really hates living in suburban community.
