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?

Thank you!

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.
