    Your assignment of blame assumes that most people shouldn’t be involved in their democracies at all. But that’s kinda not how democracies are supposed to work. For the people, by the people.

    No doubt, the parties and the system share a large degree of the blame and they’re extremely far away from being perfect — but the notion that politicians have to come to you and dazzle you as a citizen is not excusable either.
