Maybe you’re willing to, but we can’t even get a majority of Americans to vote once every four years.

(I’ve served in student government a few times, and while not directly applicable it was still eye opening - a lot of stuff will not affect you personally but you need to give a shit as an “elected” official because everything effects someone. I put elected in quotes because the first time I got talked into it and the second time happened because nobody else was willing - it’s deeply boring work most of the time.)
