The Importance of Consistent Engagement in Political Engagement

Consistent engagement in community issues is crucial to avoid the appearance of pandering during election season. It is essential for political figures to focus on encouraging voter participation consistently, not just during elections. Voter apathy, representing the 'couch' where people withdraw from politics, is a significant challenge that needs to be tackled to ensure higher voter turnout. Politicians need to address issues like student loan debt and criminal justice reform consistently, regardless of election cycles, to build trust and avoid being perceived as opportunistic.
