    Okay, when did I say they had unique knowledge then? Asides classified stuff, that doesn’t count. You keep saying that. I keep saying it’s not unique, you just don’t want to go learn it.

    So, they sometimes actually do explain things, Katie Porter for instance was pretty well-known for going into detail. Did you ever try listening to her, assuming you’re American? Did you watch Biden’s recent State of the Union? He explained several policy plans he has, though not in particularly great detail, it was just a speech. Do you listen, ever?

    The main problem is you seem to expect them to come to you, wherever your media bubble is, and teach you everything. That’s again, not their job. It’s not their purpose. All the time they spend campaigning, trying to convince Joe-schmoe to vote for them, is time they aren’t doing their actual jobs of governing the country.

    Again, they’re not teachers. They’re not salesmen. We do not vote for people to teach us, we should not vote for them to sell themselves to us. We vote for them to make our rules. They already campaign way too fucking much.
