I would assume political questions are more practical, and therefore more accessible. How do we stop gerrymandering? How do we restore faith in election outcomes? How do we keep money out of politics? These problems are more solvable than larger scale problems that are ultimately the source of these problems, like how do we curb human greed? How do we make politics a noble pursuit rather than a pursuit for power? The real problem with politics is you can’t change human nature, and the systems in America put forth to curb human nature like checks and balances were not sufficiently prepared to handle the modern world.
