I find it concerning that I no can no longer tell which group is supposed to be the one telling the other to shut up about the toppings
You vote for the candidate that is more likely to entertain your interests. By allowing the one less likely to listen, you are harming yourself.
It’s not the politically engaged voters you need to worry about, it’s the undecided and infrequent voters you should be panicking about
