The idea is the majority vote for stupid things. The people we vote it are supposed to balance it with intelligence. Just because children want extra candy doesn’t mean they should get the the candy.

That’s kinda fucked up to say. We’re talking about full grown adults here, not children

They want free housing, free college, free food, free money. Does that sound like adults or children ?

It sounds like you make shit up and like you are stuck with your head up your ass and are not interested in actual politics. Or you fell for Russian propaganda wich is meant to split societies in the western world. Imagine thinking that affordable education is a bad thing and that affordable housing is the downfall of humanity… Like bro, inflation fucked young people super hard and conservatives should be interested in keeping wealth of a nation equal to what ot was, statistically the actual wealth of USA is on the fall, its literally just the top 1% that get richer, everyone else gets more and more impoverished. Socioeconomic problems are actually there and need to be solved. Not wanting to solve them out of spite is the worst form of mental illness i can imagine.
