After I made my post I read your dripping with sarcasm one.
I see your point. People will vote for rats just because they are marketed as just plain ole nice people.
And one of my contentions here on FR sorta fits with your point of view, where many here just cannot get enough of AOC’s upper extremities thinking she’s just hot and pretty and all that crap. It makes me want to just puke when these people go ape $hit over a little commie. It’s no different than people voting for Shaheen.
Look at Joe Biden, he has coasted for thiry years on his “nice guy” image.
Here is my take on Joe Biden. He lives in a democrat state and he has that fake polician “charm” so he was predestined to be a politician. All Biden had to do was to step on the bottom step of the democrat escalator and it automatically took him to the top. He had no competition because nobody votes for republicans in Delaware. He just kept on winning year after year. The DNC supported him because he kept on winning and was a money maker for them. Then Obama picked him for Vice President because he was so “likeable” and now he is running for president. This guy is a helium balloon.
