While I agree a PoliSci student who doesn't care about politics is pretty ridiculous (and outright stupid), are you suggesting in your last sentence that gamers - by default - don't care about the state of world affairs? How about the fact that less than half this idiot country votes, and with fairly good reason? People who refuse to vote for a bunch of corrupt fucking douchebags don't matter?
This whole situation parallels politics in the United States: The system is broken and instead of supporting the people who want to fix it we'd rather just bang our heads against the wall try it again under slightly different circumstances, stating blindly that there is no other way. Dumb, flawed, "patriotic" logic. My friend, you may matter, but that does not mean you're not making things any better around here.
And furthermore, since when is politics and voting the only things that matter? Seriously, if that's how you base your worth you're not a very worthwhile person.
