I think you are at best only maybe 25% right.
CRT and keeping the cost of energy down are issues that have proven to move voters more than “infrastructure”, which more excites the bloodsucker investor class than Joe and Juan Lunchpail.
There may be more social-issue Juan voters than you realize out there. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a candidate talking about the Rapture. (I’m not sure how they could do so while still trying to tell voters that getting to the polls matters.)
You could well be right.
For me, anything that can’t be put in numbers is merely opinion or ideology. Anything that matters can be graphed in Excel, quantified in a database, or measured under a microscope.
My bias, but then I don’t expect *any* person who aspires for political power to be in the slightest bit moral or decent. To paraphrase Jeff Sessions, ‘Good people don’t go into politics’. I don’t trust anyone who aspires to power, all I want is value for my tax dollar, a handle on crime and homelessness, and infrastructure that gets better rather than worse.
