What I find odd sometimes about politics, is how much time people spend on issues or candidates that have very little effect on their everyday life and ignore the local politics or issues that do. For example, it seems everyone has an issue with who is put on the supreme court, but I doubt most know who to vote for when it comes to their local and state justices. Scream about Trump, but ignore their state representatives, council members, and to some degree their US representatives and governor. Right now, I have yet to see a single ad, debate, or discussion about who is running for the US representative in my district. Forget about the state offices (other than governor). No one seems to care. I spend more in property taxes and Sales taxes, gas taxes and other fees than I spend on income taxes. I loose weeks of productivity each year, sitting on poorly maintained roads. Crime and homeless is crazy in my neighborhood. And, each year they add more local regulations that make it harder to conduct business.
