15. Here's the problem

Fri Apr 1, 2022, 11:18 PM

Apr 2022

their side doesn't really care about the economy, they care about whatever social issue of the day has been ginned up to make them made at the world.

Our side cares about everything (sometimes leading to some getting disillusioned and sitting out if everything isn't fixed right away).

Then there's that slice left over that doesn't think about anything except how bad things are, and who vote for the party not in power every single time. Which leads to the back and forth electoral nature of our politics.

Only way to stop it is massive involvement from our side every single election. Otherwise, we can't beat out both their enthusiasm and the "pox on all their houses" voters who just want to blame whomever is currently in charge.
