Yeah I get that he’s a senator! I mean how much in the public eye is he. Would a random person know who he is?
We have hundreds of Members of Parliament here in the UK, but probably only 10 that most people could name.
I wondered how big his public profile is.
- jraines 2y agoMost Senators are not well known nationally (sadly) unless they’ve either: - done a non-negligible Presidential campaign - been born from a famous family - the press either love them or love to hate them - have a leadership position and/or are conspicuously ancient Relentless self-promotors are a superset of 3, the ones who succeed Unfortunately being sensible, cooperative, or good with policy isn’t on the list It can occasionally work for state Governors
- poink 2y agoI think Bernie Sanders is the only current senator I'd expect a random American to know. Murphy might make the top 5 highest profile senators but you wouldn't know him if you don't pay attention to politics at all.
