I think a big problem is that the candidates are terrible. We seem to be in an era where good governance is an afterthought, and the anti-government disease has struck the Democrats to the point where we're playing the same game convinced that there is no such thing as good politicians who can make good policy- so only the lovely ones run. It seems there aren't enough good candidates inspired to run, who believe (and who are not afraid to say) that government can work for its people. That government will be diligent in doing so. We need good candidates to inspire not just the electorate, but government itself. Decades of cuts and the erosion of self-worth on the conscience of government workers has caused them to believe that they can't be a part of the solution. They can. They can help government work for its people. They can ensure the citizens get the good government they are entitled to, that can help support them, that can help get them past hard times. Or just to show them that government can be as efficient as they imagine private enterprise to be.
