I was being sarcastic, I don’t think most Americans really know or care a whole lot about foreign policy and even many people who do, probably care more about domestic issues.
Like if you went around and asked people on the left if they would choose universal healthcare & abortion protections vs funding for Ukraine & a ceasefire in Gaza or asked people on the right if they would choose finishing the border wall & relaxing gun laws vs cutting foreign aid & continuing trade war with China, both groups will likely choose the domestic issue first.
Hell, the average American who pays little attention to politics would probably abandon any position they have on foreign policy if it meant gas & grocery prices would go down.
I’m not trying to make light of those foreign policy issues but I find it weird that Firebush’s argument is that voting doesn’t matter because both sides are the same but refuses to discuss how they are the same on the multitude of domestic issues that most Americans are going to find more important.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
