Why don't you run for office? (self.politics)

I'm making the bold assumption, that most people here are not running, in either local body or national elections.

Everyone loves the complain about what "public servants" do. So why not step up and do something about it?

No accusation intended or implied. Just curious.

Not charismatic, not empathic and when im annoyed I get increasingly more unhinged. Even if people 100% agreed with my ideas I doubt they would accept how I try to get there.

Also if I ran someone would probably find an audio clip of me saying the n word on Cod as a teenager and destroy my career.

I dont want someone like me to represent a wide group of people. I can only represent myself and my own interests.
