This is a very pessimistic view of human nature and in my view simply wrong. Much of the time people don't want to put in work, but when there is a significant wrong and people are impacted, they will do the work if the avenue is there. If you don't even believe that, then you are throwing out the entire liberal idea of state elections.

Of course. I even said as much in the previous comment. But I also said there is no reason to put in the work. The work needing to be done was given away to other people for good reason and the democracy wants to keep it that way.
If that changes, things will change, but until then...
