Only some people fall into the “both sides” trap and start thinking that cynicism is a virtue. It’s unfortunate, as this behavior encourages the very outcome to which you object. It’s much easier to take advantage of people who have given up.

I don’t doubt we need technological logistics but after ensuring biological stability for the species, speculative economic activity is an environmental time bomb. There are plenty of drill baby drill Democrats, especially as the other side has gone off the deep end. Can the environment survive a Tesla in every garage? It’s still pushing the problem off until we die. We not afford arbitrarily drawn political boundaries on how far.

There are small changes that seem to be happening, like rank choice voting, and calls for many other things, like trading restrictions on members of Congress. But really, it's easy to take advantage of people when the People have increasingly less power.
