Besides people who don't engage at all, checking out and only showing up for the elections every 2-4 years is why we're here today.

People complain they don't have anyone good to vote for, but they've done nothing to help get good candidates and build support for them and/or vote for them in the primaries, which if they win the primaries would give voters an actual good choice in the general.

Just waiting to see who other people picked and then deciding not to vote for them because they don't represent your needs makes no sense. Of course they don't represent your needs, they represent the needs of the people who chose them.

Obviously we can't all be (or want to be) involved in politics, but we can at least see who's running in the primaries and try to get the best of those choices to win and be an option people will want to vote for in the general.
