I think most Americans don't pay attention to politics [View all]

If and when they vote they look around at how things are going for them right now. Unfortunately politics take time to work its way down to the present, they don’t realize the last election might not even have made its way down to their lives. I think the rethugs capitalize on this by taking ctedit for things the Dems are responsible for.
