So who's going to change? The disillusioned voters? Or the politicians running for office? Or are we just going to keep on yelling at people who aren't listening?

Oh, politicians will do the changing all right. They will identify the people who vote and will cater more to them, moving further right. Many of them don't want that actually, but since getting votes is the only way to be elected, and left doesn't vote, they just have to.
People though? I don't know, right now I'm disappointed in all the America, so I don't believe change is possible. I however will continue yelling at idiots who don't want right wing politicians but don't vote therefore don't express their wants. I will also continue doing public communication, maybe less yelly though.
