Honestly, if you don&#x27;t have time to form an opinion for what each party (or at least main parties) stand for, then how will you have time to vote on each individual issue? According to this website: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.govtrack.us&#x2F;congress&#x2F;bills&#x2F;statistics" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.govtrack.us&#x2F;congress&#x2F;bills&#x2F;statistics</a> there have been over 10 thousands things those people have input one per year. (sounds insane to me as well)<p>You don&#x27;t want to micromanage each little decision, and you can certainly make phone calls and show up in person to talk to some people in government to discuss things you do care about.
