Didn’t get a chance to say my last point, which is:
Low voter turnout is both because people won’t get involved, but a know a WHOLE LOT of people who haven’t, and won’t, because their really really won’t mean anything. This is be an even greater problem next year due to redistricting. How many Democrats will even stand a chance of winning? So how many Democrats will bother to vote?
