It's funny how candidates can just state problems to get people excited (e.g. Bring jobs back to America, We're getting screwed by the system, Break up the banks, etc.), and yet most people care so little about the solutions.
- wvenable 10y agoBecause problems are easy; even Altman and Trump can agree on the problems. It's also easy to look backwards -- we can see what the problems are and how they were caused but to look forward is to look into the unknown and unknowable. Also, people just like to complain. The most fervent supporters on both sides of the political spectrum are passionately complaining about something.
- whamlastxmas 10y agoEven if provided a plan to address an issue, it's very debatable whether the plan would work. There's no winning, the goal post can always be moved because there are no fool-proof plans. Having someone say "This is broken, I will do my best to fix it" is leaps and bounds better than 99% of politicians who pretend there is no problem. I will take someone who attempts and fails to fix a problem over the person saying there is no problem.
