It's the same shit with Biden in 2024. We're going to hear about how this election is for the future of our democracy but the party just couldn't be bothered to run a better candidate for this supposedly important race.
If the party doesn't give a shit, why should voters?

New blood is never going to rise to the top, only the divisive who spout shit everyday get the spotlight. The quiet ones who actually govern/legislate will quickly be dropped for the hot take of the minute assholes.
Now the Republicans want to disrupt/destroy local politics and then their stranglehold will be complete.
Good times for everyone!
