What they think when they think of politics is two heads on TV at the polar extremes of any idea, screaming at each other. Meanwhile, the idea of government as helping to solve problems, as government in partnership with private initiatives, as government as an incubator for really good ideas and creativity has faded, if not disappeared.
And in order to get people to re-engage in that they have to be asked back in a personal way. That’s the philosophical reason for having a ground organization. And it’s been great.
