I wouldn't be surprised if a majority of Americans don't even know who Brett Kavanaugh is.

There are still a great many people who rely on tv for their news, and, since they know tv news is unreliable sensationalism, they don't get much news.

How do we educate an electorate desperately busy to keep from falling from 'middle class'?

is wearing. or would rather just party or whatever the fuck.

unless something happens to them personally they just have no interest.

like that idiot "obama girl" from 2008 who didn't vote. it was just about her being in some music video and wanting fame.
