This tells me the population votes based on emotion and vibes rather than critical thinking. With that attitude, presenting a reasoned rebuttal doesn't stand a chance; i.e. it's okay when my team does it.

This would be a more compelling rebuttal if I hadn't just told you a story about how we obtained exactly the outcome you claim to want in our own municipality.
