Q: “Republicans enact policies that hurt their own constituents.
So why do people vote for them?”
A: It has to do with the purpose of government.
For some people, purpose of government is to help people. We think fairness is possible and the government's job is to create fairness.
Others have a different view.
They think there’s a natural order: Some people belong on top; others at the bottom.
They think people with money and power deserve their money and power.

Got any suggestions on what to do with a bird site account?
Delete it?
Keep it?
Enable 2FA?
I don't plan on going back - there's nothing there for me.
I would've been a much better cat than a human. What gives?
Don't forget to tag for discovery:
