Part of the reason is that the entities in power make it difficult to participate in the electoral process. Voting doesn't need to be done in local polling place in one day. It can be done over a week from home via computer, etc.

Also, Referendum is almost universally avoided by the parties in power except as need to amend a local, state, or federal ordinance that requires it.

_participation in the electorial process of both ideas and of representatives is poor
in the US. We're lucky to get voter turnout of 50% in most cases. Yet voting is the
key responsibility of being a citizen.

I agree. And I vote every year. But I don't think it should be mandatory like the quote implied. Making voting mandatory takes away civil responsibility of the citizen.
