I worry that comments like this can degrade the confidence in the system.

States run their own elections and they're usually administered at the county level. I can't speak for any other county but the way we do elections here are legit. This system is audited and administered by bipartisan teams. During elections I work with people from different parties and facilitate a system to ensure our voting process maintains integrity.

If you don't know how elections are administered where you live I encourage you to take an interest and get involved. We all have a duty here to oversee that we are administering elections with integrity.

    I'm not working on any legislation. I'm only trying to point out who is causing this pain so you can consider redirecting your anger to the right place. FWIW I do tip every single time but I do honestly wonder if I am just helping to perpetuate an unfair system.

    Employers paying shitty wages are punishing workers, this is the source of your complaint. If workers got a fair wage to begin with, you wouldn't give a shit about tipping. But employers pay a shit wage and have successfully got people like you to blame and shame customers instead of them. If you think this will resolve by arguing with the customers that aren't subsiding the wages, well, good luck with that.

    The employer is the one withholding the money earned, the customer is simply paying the price that is advertised. The employer is the one that is exploiting the cheap labor, and if the labor looks to the customer to fix it it's not going to work out.
