While I rarely comb through #DemocraticPrimary polling on a Friday night, when I do, my distain for #electoralism only grows stronger. #Bernie and #Biden are dead-even among people who consider reducing income inequality their highest priority!? surveyusa.com/client/PollRep…
He’s beating #Bernie among union households!? Among working class people!? Among college grads!? And 41% of all ‘high information’ Democratic Primary voters want a SMALLER federal government. I know they ain’t #anarchists so how politically confused is this electorate right now?
It’s one kind of naïveté/baseless optimism to put faith in electoral politics if there was a rational electorate with a basic political education and the inclination to reduce harm by voting for the lesser of two evils. But when they have no clue who the lesser of two evils is?
