| Chrkeller said: I used to think people didn't know what they were voting for, but two things changed my mind. The first being I have heard that every 2 years for over 20 years straight... at some point one has to start wondering/questioning. The other change was when I moved to the south. I don't know where you live nor do I want to make any assumptions, but moving from the north to the south was eye opening. I can't drive more than 100 ft without seeing a "Let's Go Brandon" sign (either yard or sticker on a car). When I lived in the north I thought the media was accurate in cascading what the average person wanted/believed. Now that I live in the south, yeah I don't anymore. |
I live in a fairly white conservative part of the midwest. Which admittingly has some very blue cities, but I've never lived in those cities.
There's a lot of gerrymandering here. In 2018, Democrats won the vote by over 8%, and yet only got 36 seats, whereas Republicans got 63, despite the massive win.
Sometimes it's more important to ask what people think they're voting against, rather than what they're voting for. (There's also a partisan factor that a lot of people love to vote for Trump, even if there was Democratic politician with the same views, they wouldn't like as much.)
