    What, are we in kindergarten now? Do we make fun of old people that Democrats need to help win this election? People care about policies.

      Take a look at the official federal Republican platform and say that again with a straight face, I fucking dare you.

      The average voter in this country is undereducated, underemployed and uninformed. Trump voters voted for him because they thought they were kicking the establishment in the nuts. And of course the saving the guns and the right to bare babies or some shit I’m sure.

      No, they don’t understand the policies. And they don’t care to. They generally don’t even watch the debates or speeches. They’re comfortable not knowing. They just want to feel relevant and heard, and sadly the GOP misinformation & marketing has been fairly successful at convincing them Republicans are the ones who care about them over the last 30 years.

      Republican voters keep voting against welfare, social security, and healthcare. They are the people more likely to need government assistance. Not all people care about policies.

        Its about the message you send to your voters… do you treat them with any ounce of respect about their ability to make smart informed decisions, or do you treat them like they are idiots?
