ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Political apathy

Political apathy means not feeling motivated or interested in getting involved in the political process. It means that you might pay attention to politics, but you don't have the energy to do anything about it, like voting or joining a campaign. Political apathy happens when people feel like their vote will not make a difference, or like the politicians and those in power don’t care about them. It could also come from feeling like the political system doesn’t represent them.
