    This is what the democratic party has to learn. Your sister is a sizable representation of the electorate. They have no goddamn idea how anything works. They voted purely based on vibes. You have to capture the terminally unengaged and uninformed voters if you want to be able to stay in power.

      Yup.

      In America you have to lie, or at the very least dangle shiny things in front of idiots, to win an election.

      Sucks, but it’s the truth. Talking about actually policy is out of most fool’s wheelhouses. Gotta appeal to their simple feelings.
