That it only becomes a topic of popular discussion once every two years doesn't mean people are sitting on their hands the rest of the time. I've volunteered on local, state and Congressional campaigns, mostly translating campaign website and literature/fliers into Spanish. I've done this in the lead up to the 2020 presidential elections, state assembly, city council and mayoral races here. If I talk to people about this stuff outside explicitly political gatherings or a presidential election cycle, I'm an annoying leftist who won't shut up about politics. When the rest of the country gets off their collective ass and pretends to care, I get "Why haven't you done anything in between election cycles, you're not serious," from the same people who didn't want to hear about local elections the last few years.
Yeah, it's pretty exhausting having the same liberals disengage between presidential elections and then pretend to be the arbiters of serious politicking once every 4 years to try and punch left and exclude any actual leftist viewpoints. Thanks for doing your part to keep that liberal tradition going strong.
