Yes. There’s many examples of people who wanted the absolute worst for criminals, but once someone they care about goes to prison, they change their tune pretty quickly.
People don’t dig into things that don’t affect them that much. And when the problem is on the news, it’s justified through cognitive dissonance with “they probably did something to deserve it”

- giantg2 6y agoYou are conveniently ignoring primaries, which tend to have more choices. So you claim that businesses drive the candidates and that it's a problem? If that is really the case, then you are arguing against yourself. The true power is people being able to vote and to create their own parties (protected in numerous laws and court decisions). Then the poor candidate choices would be the result of ignorance on the part of the citizens in not self organizing or seeing what is going on. "business interests and a couple of large political parties" Who comprises these institutions? People! "But some people are just too comfortable to understand such things." Your arguments would be more effective if you focused on creating coherent arguments rather than consistently engaging in ad hominem attacks.
