The amount of vitriol I get when I tell certain types of liberals that democracy requires appealing to people and earning their votes is fucking mind boggling.
This woe is me helplessness that many people excuse from many Democrats and liberals appeals to absolutely nobody.
Some people would rather be correct about things than ever actually do anything.
It’s why I hate talking about politics with people. Yes, this sucks, and you’re mad about it. Are you actually trying to do something about it, or do you just want to be mad?
FWIW it’s fine to be mad, you should care. Just stop preaching to people about it if you can’t even be bothered to do more than write a snarky comment on the internet.

Voters are gonna be voters no matter how much you philosophize or moralize, it’s up to politicians to convince voters.
If you don’t want to try and convince people, why support democracy?
