You ask a very good question.
“Lord grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”
If you are getting angry, frustrated or depressed, I would stop following it unless you can learn to cope with it. If you can't and still want to be involved in politics, maybe start locally in your own city and or state. This is somewhere where you are more likely to make a difference.
I myself went through a phase where I went through the same emotions you describe and it took me realizing that getting my emotions wrapped up in things I can't control is futile. It does no one any good and just hurts me. It took me realizing that I had to detach myself because I couldn't change it.
I still follow politics but don't let it consume anymore.
