And the best way to vote against your interest is vote just by following propaganda instead of thinking by themselves what they should do.
Thinking on “how to sell” instead of “what do they need from us” is setting a path for people not thinking and just following propaganda, which makes them more susceptible for falling into other parties propaganda.

That’s why it’s important to be able to convey your message so people know what you are trying to accomplish with the 2000 page bill

And what if what you try to accomplish or the way you try to do it is not the way they want it done?
A common problem with the left movements these days is that they put more effort in convincing that in listening, because everyone who becomes politically active automatically thinks they know better than everyone else.

Then you don’t get elected…
What I find funny is I have the exact opposite opinion that the left spends more time trying to appeal to voters than actually communicate what they are trying to do. So we end up with things like 250B to boost American manufacturing that got completely ignored
