Which is why it's obvious pandering to voters, and is the exact shit I don't want to hear from my leaders. This country (and the world in general) is kinda going to hell. The last thing we need are leaders that are going to dick around with quick fixes and bad ideas that only server their own immediate benefit. We just had 8 years of that crap, and it's one of the biggest reasons why we're in the mess we're in.

Even if I disagree with a candidate's platform, if they're honest, direct, and realistic I'm way more apt to vote for them over someone who's platform I agree with if they're just another bullshit career politician that doesn't care for things much past their next reelection.
