Your local officials only show up on election day and wave on the street corner as you drive by, never quite sure if the honking is support or disdain. When they win, because they ran uncontested, they're passed out drunk in their office and wiring obscene amounts of money to an overseas waifu who is definitely real. If you ever try to raise a problem with them, they only work from 3-3:30 on weekends and they're off on weekends

Im not sure I would like big city politicians lying to my face through a soulless cackle any better though

Not necessarily true! My local state rep is at the same corner bar every Thursday night, and I’ve gone over to his house to chat before. 

Demand more from your local officials. When they’re local, it’s much easier to hold them accountable and locally organize to replace them with people who will actually pay attention to their constituents
