Many things wrong here, in no particular order:

The govt shouldnt 'be an agent of change'.

Only idiots think the issue is mail-in vs getting but of couch and into a polling place.

Real issues:
One party state, so why should anyone with other inklings bother?

Even Dems, why should they bother when the same names get rehashed - a city council person can pop up agaon as a mayoral candidate then state legislator then federal legislator then back into a state office, then run some commission by appointment,  then back in the race for another office. ... who cares? Where's the new ideas?
