re: #247 EmmmieG

The reason that the various parties have all sounded so schizophrenic is that they are trying to say what their constituents want. Their constituents happen to be thousands or even millions of separate individuals, with different ways of thinking and interests, so of course it’s going to come out schizo.

Until we find someone who presents their own strong message, we’re stuck with schizo.

Except that they don’t represent their constituents, especially not the GOP. Polling on raising taxes on the wealthy, for example, clearly shows that they want it raised, even in GOP districts; and yet the GOP fights against that.

However, those same GOP people will vote the way that person wants on other issues. I feel the GOP uses the social issues it champions to take advantage of its constituents, and fails to represent them on economic issues.
