Have you ever heard anyone give an honest, principled reason for voting for Trump? People who do stupid things usually don't understand why they're doing them.

- jessaustin 5y agoCertainly not! But we shouldn't hold Trump and Clinton to different standards.
- specialist 5y agoThe books Democracy For Realists and then Why We Are Polarized cured me of remaining notions that any signicant fraction of people vote based on platforms, ideas, policy. Federal and statewide races are about activating identities and anti-partisanship. We're lucky when people bother to vote down ballot.
