Apathy in politics is well justified because there is absolutely no obligation for politicians. They can promise something on the campaign trail and than change their mind later and history is replete with examples. The system is a bloated and festering rotted carcass that is better avoided altogether.
Just ask Charlie Schrem how working with regulators helped him and Bitcoin.
Instead of donating to a politician, support bitcoin by assisting in debugging night builds, better merchant acceptance, buy more bitcoin, spread good pr, ect....
