Is there really anything that one person can do to change "the way things are"?

Income taxes are illegal.
Congresspeople get stupidly huge retirements.
Electoral College.

What can one person do? What can 5 people do?

How can a single person change the way things are done?

I was thinking about voting and I've been reading on here, and I keep finding myself thinking, "Why should I give a SHIT?" And then I answer myself: "Because if you don't vote, you don't get to bitch."

Well, so what if I vote? It doesn't make one bit of difference, because even if the popular vote wins, the electoral college doesn't have to vote for that person.

So why bother?

What can I do do make a difference?
