You’re right. It’s important to keep negative feelings to yourself. Cram them right down in the pit of your stomach and then smile and say “Yeah, this is exactly the sort of government I want and if you have a problem with it then you’re a bad person.”
You don’t need to play martyr. Get some help if you really want to address it. Trying to convince others to feel hopeless along with you won’t make you feel any better, and it can hurt others in the process.
Voting should be emotionless. It’s a civic responsibility to make a logical decision to benefit yourself and those you care about. Vote for whomever will do that more. Don’t expect perfect representation at that level of government.
Which makes sense because I’m definitely hopeless
That’s fair. Try not to advocate hopelessness. It just hurts others.

Making people hopeful only to have their hopes crushed in the next election is a great way to get them to give up on voting
