Democracy runs on public discourse. The public discusses amongst themselves the problems they have with the current administration and determines whether they want to re-elect incumbents. The public should not all run for office if they have a problem, they vote for another candidate that will do hopefully do what they want.

I really don’t understand what you want, should I never complain about public officials with other voters and advocate for change without having to uproot my life plans and run for office? Like in your world is it wrong for me to do anything about issues I have with government other than run for office or get a generic email back from an intern when I write my congressperson? Do you understand issues I have with your line of thought at all?
