Very useful way to think about politics. Always remember that people have valid concerns you might not understand... but also that their solutions are probably terrible.

Yes! Unfortunately, some people with terrible ideas get elected.

Oh, every day citizens have terrible ideas too. Sometimes even worse. Sometimes our elected officials who "don't get anything done" are serving as necessary filters for those terrible ideas.

It’s exactly the opposite. Most concerns aren’t valid (even if and especially if they think it is) and most ideas for fixing things aren’t even contemplated let alone attempted.

What's an example of a concern that you don't think is valid?
