    Yeah, like, what do people expect? Of course they’ll do good things to get re-elected. That’s literally how this works! I don’t get the people who argue “it’s just for getting votes”. Yes, that’s how it works.

      People want leaders who give a damn about them not lying charlatans who use them. It isn’t that hard to understand.

      Cynics like you are the reason we keep electing neoliberal trash who fuck workers over. All you do is make excuses for them.

      Because they hold things until election years, they also do performative bills that look good, or wait to progress good bills until a bill that hurts the working class comes up so that it’ll be more palatable in the short term even though we’re getting screwed in the long term.
