Too many people don't pay much attention and/or have tuned it out. Many think that it is just politics as usual. If they realized what was really going on, more would be willing to join in the fight.

Unfortunately the tuned out and the politically burned out still show up on Election Day and vote with disgust for the system and with their gut, which means they vote, uninformed and in complete ignorance against whoever is the easiest to blame - that’s usually the incumbent and the candidate losing the message war. Americans have a long history of voting against their own best self interest. Add to that any single issue voters, who have no need to stay informed because they vote for the candidate that supports their one issue regardless of the candidate’s other positions. Add to that the negative vote voter, which is a big problem for the Democrats. These are voters that only see the negative of their former political party; the working class blue collar white voter that’s just trying to keep food on the table for their family, cursing higher prices. They don’t care about fringe issues like LGBTQ rights, protecting forests, BLM, who chums up to Putin, water pollution in some far away state, climate change, and EV jobs in a new factory across the country. It’s the money that doesn’t stay in their wallet past pay day that concerns them and Biden hasn’t told them how he’s going to fix it for them; in direct plain language terms, for their town, their job, their money.
