Acharya Prashant"When a voter who feels diminished, overlooked, and powerless encounters a candidate of obvious capability and qualifications, voting for that candidate can feel like a further act of self-diminishment. But voting for someone who shares your limitations, your background feels like victory. The ego chooses the candidate who makes its own condition feel legitimate."
