    Also, we do get to vote on local matters, where our mathematical influence is greater.

I don't know if it's the same thing in the states but in Canada this is where people vote least even though it can matter most. It's mind boggling, and most people don't even know enough about the political process to even know they have a vote in provincial and municipal elections. There's definitely a lack of interest problem, most people I know just complain about the current situation while being completely unaware they let it happen.
