re: #113 Hecuba’s daughter

The red-to-blue districts were won by moderates. The progressive message doesn’t necessarily resonate in all districts. That said: voters often choose someone based on personality and style, rather than policies they espouse. Once elected, politicians confront problems that they didn’t address during their campaigns. Most voters select someone that they are comfortable with — we have to rely on the person’s judgement. Too bad the American public proved in 2016 that at least 46% of the public is incapable of making intelligent decisions.

They thought the intelligent decision was to pick the outsider that told them he was going to make the intelligent decisions. They bought that. It is a signal that not only are they not educated voters they are also lazy.

Democracy tends to need input from all and at the very minimum make oneself aware of what is going on in the Democracy and who is best for it.

Too many people fall for what they are told and forget they should follow what they learn. Learning is a verb. You have to put forth some effort.
