Politics is a scam invented by tyrants, and serves only tyrants.
For over two hundred years, Americans have voted, and petitioned, and protested, and campaigned, and filed lawsuits against state agents and departments, and filed complaints against abusive government enforcers and bureaucrats, and voted some more. All the while, the size and power of the ruling class has grown, getting its tentacles into more and more aspects of everyone's lives, constantly expanding taxation, regulation and surveillance, not to mention military imperialism and war-mongering all over the world.
It's also worth noting that the ability to vote not only didn't stop, but assisted the growth of authoritarian, murderous regimes in Red China, the Soviet Union, North Korea, Germany, and elsewhere.
If you think that any political or "legal" solution will ever reverse this trend, you need to stop lying to yourself. If the people are not willing to disobey and resist the ruling class--to be free without the permission of politicians and legislatures--then they will be slaves forever.
