There was a good segment on Last Week Tonight several weeks back. The choice was between a guy who was part of the original problem and promised no changes or this guy. People knew more of the same wasn’t going to work so they took a gamble and hoped that the crazy guy would stumble onto something.
Yep, they’re part of the reason we can’t have nice things. The people who keep them unnecessarily busy, stressed, and ignorant are the biggest part. But they help still. Not understanding candidates or platforms.
