LordoftheMorons 11/11/20 7:01:13 PM #325:	HeroDelTiempo17 posted... What is the job of politicians The job of politicians is to actually enact policy. They're responsible for defending their own policy positions and messaging, but in reality will be tied to the messaging of less popular groups with which they are aligned (or imagined to be aligned). If those groups are pushing messages that are going to make it very hard for them to be elected, they have a strong incentive to dissociate from those groups, which makes the groups less powerful. I'm saying that messaging like "defund" goes against the activists' own interests. --- Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ! <cite>LordoftheMorons posted [p:947050457] in Politics C...
