I would think that that is the whole point of a democracy.
Edit: I am sincerely curious about why I'm being downvoted. If you think your government is broken, work to fix it.

Yeah, it's a problem. The problem is we can't all work on every problem. Some of us have jobs, personal crisis, or is already working on one of those problem.

Most of us do fuck all. I should know, I'm sitting in my underwear past noon on a Sunday commenting on HN.
Mostly, I just focus on internal improvement, since it is something that I can change within myself. Trying to take on the local corrupt buffoon of a government thinking you can rule the city better is a definition of hubris.
It's no more arrogant than starting a company because you think you can make a better product or service than any of your competitors.
Which is exactly the point of a representative democracy. We elect other people to work the problems we can't. If they do an unsatisfactory job, then we should elect someone else.
