That’s just lazy and not a good excuse IMO. If people actually wanted change they would fight for it.
That’s the thing. Most people don’t. Most people are actually fine with the status quo, and figure their district is doing ok, so leave it as-is. Folks tend to think it’s other places that are the problem.
Then things shouldn’t change. That’s how democracy works
People don’t want change. They want stability and to not starve. If those two qualifiers are met then voters don’t really care what the government does and they’re not inclined to vote incumbents out.
Many people have simply given up. They see the government as trash with nothing that can be done to change it.
