Well, in normal circumstances, you have to give a shit about what the populace thinks to at least some degree, or they will vote you out.
Which, to me, indicates that they’ve decided that doesn’t matter. Personally, I’m guessing they believe they control enough of the electoral process at this point such that voting doesn’t actually matter anymore.

I think you’re right. As the people on the inside, their own actions are the metric - if they were worried it mattered, they’d prioritize it, and if they’re not prioritizing it, it’s because they know it doesn’t matter. Still vote, by all means - you’ve got nothing to lose - but don’t rely on it as our primary way of getting ourselves out of this mess.
