    The fruits of treating politics like a sport or a reality tv show. The idea of choosing who you're going to vote for based on what they actually believe and are likely to do is so foreign to liberal voters that when you say "they're not doing anything to earn my vote", the windows XP error message plays in their head.

    Instead, they vote for whichever party blindly every time because it's their team! Because Obama presents himself so nicely and is so eloquent, or because Trump is such a strong man getting things done because he says things so assertively! If there's any examination of the candidate's voting history or political beliefs, it's only the other candidate, and if my team's candidate does it? oh well that's different.
