Democrats say "vote!" -> not enough people actually vote

If it's known that voting isn't effective for whatever reason (including turnout) then suggesting it in the first place is a marker that one is unserious about realistic solutions and should be ignored.

Um, yeah, voting isn't effective if you don't fucking do it.

I promise you that the Republican Party would undergo serious reform even if they were kept out of the presidency for 3 terms. I'd bet on a complete collapse if they find themselves a significant minority in Congress for only a couple terms. We're not talking about a crazy unrealistic amount of time here.
