    It seems like you’re just arguing that people are too dumb to understand that Democrats always do what’s best for them

    I didn’t say that. You can keep your strawman, thanks.

    while here (and in your follow up reply below) state that the problems we face are essentially too complicated to fix so we shouldn’t hold it against Democrats for not having solutions.

    No, I’m saying why its easy for the other side to make simply promises that have no attachment to realty and American voters eat it up.

      You did right here while implying that Democrats are the ones with legitimate solutions that people are just too dumb to understand. Unsurprisingly, you couldn’t list any examples of Democratic policy that fits with anything you’ve said in this entire chain of comments.

      People love simple answers to problems. Unfortunately, the problems we’re facing are incredibly complex and don’t have simple realistic answers. Simply looking solutions have complicated consequences that aren’t immediately obvious. The average American (that doesn’t hold post-secondary education) typically doesn’t understand this. So when a problem is explained and a solution that addresses it is presented, it usually leaves them confused.

        I didn’t offer solution (complex or simple) nor did I point to one that Democrats did. I also never said anything about Democrats always doing whats best or implying everything Democrats propose should be followed blindly. Thats a GOP talking point, not mine.
