I don't not trust this administration to do whatever they can to stay in power and hide from accountability.
One way to guard against this is a complete blow out with record level participation across the country, similar to what we recently saw in the special election.

Note for Democratic politicians: you don't have to start your condemnations of ICE raids with "We all want to catch violent criminals, but..." Just say "These raids have nothing to do with catching criminals and everything to do with terrorizing innocent minority groups."

The awful outcomes *are because of* the “election-winning positions”. Ability to deliver and promises made are linked!
Sure! It seems like they did a good job of adopting election-winning positions but while in office have not delivered good policy outcomes.
That’s why it’s good to have popular views on cultural issues and technocratically sound economic policy.
What’s your take?

Ok but environmental concerns will have a massive material impact within our lifetimes so governments should plan for that in some way whether it polls well or not.
If there’s no shale gas then there’s no shale gas, but I still think environmentalism is basically bad and politicians should focus more on material prosperity.
