Of course we think the bad guys only win elections by cheating, when we aren't aware of the bad stuff the people we're told are the good guys, do. And obviously this story is even easier to sell regarding countries we know less about than our own. The level of American belief in good guys and bad guys is both adorable and so dangerous. #LiberalValues
The number of times I've heard, "45 is a <badthing1> <badthing2> and a <badthing3>, so vote Democrat!!!" out of people who don't seem to realize that all three of those <badthingS> are also true of 46 (I'm applying the same brush here..) is amazing.
people need to want a better understanding of what's happening and be able to honestly talk about it in good faith. and then vote for the best option even when you see lots of problems with that candidate. and support reforms like decentralization and direct funding of media and #RankedChoiceVoting so that we can have better options that can win next time.
