I've been doing this for 24 years and have the "Kucinich for President" bumper sticker to prove it.

When should I expect it to start working?

    You shouldn't. Your thinking is linear and deterministic, but elections and society structures are not. Voting for X over Y period is not a guarantee of X. It's a chance at X, assuming an entire host of other people vote with you and a number of other factors fall into place, but not a guarantee.

    In other words: I am too weird to ever be satisfied with the results of an election.

    Be the change you want to see friend. Organize, distribute literature, engage others in honest and open dialogue (like you're doing), and encourage those around you to vote in every election and primary, or to run if able.

    Really though, we just gotta last another 15 years or so and then the climate change feedback cycle will take care of everything
