I mean, that is the thing about problems you can't directly solve. You tend not to care who started it, and you care only that it gets solved, and if it doesn't, it's annoying.
This might be a very common way of thinking, but it's a stupid way of thinking. There are many common but faulty patterns of thought that we should be using education to address. A well-functioning democracy requires an educated public with mature thought processes. Without that, as we've clearly seen, the voting public is far too susceptible propaganda, demagoguery, and short-term thinking.
Gonna stop you right there, tiger, and remind you that "vote harder" is not a great campaign slogan after 2016 and 2020.
I never said that was a great slogan, and Republicans are currently doing all they can to make sure voting harder makes no difference anyway. But even without Republican voter subversion, there's a good chance our voting public will stupidly hand control of the House back to Republicans anyway. I consider a public who would willingly return control back over to Trump and his ilk a stupid public.
At any rate, you yourself probably wouldn't be a member of DU if you didn't think Democrats, regardless of what they may or may not manage to accomplish during Biden's first two years, will do a far better job of running the country now and in the future than Republicans will, especially given the autocratic, conspiracy-driven Republican party that has developed over the past few years.
If you agree with that, then why don't you expect more intelligence and foresight from your fellow citizens?
I'm confused here, what are you sick of? Voters, or settling for shit so more voters that you don't like might possibly vote for basic decency?
I'm sick of voters not understanding nuanced policy, often forcing politicians to abandon important nuances when crafting policy in order to win the votes of a shallow-thinking public.
