I'm starting to think that using public office to make positive changes for everyday people in your community is, like, good for your approval rating or something.

Should update the city groceries to be priced at 31% off retail instead of 30%.

That would push his favourability rating to 420%

Don't want to incentivize people to drop his rating back down for a bigger discount :D

Well, he does seem like a nice major.

If you look at the Dem platform, what they accomplish in some states with enough majority, and federal laws that the majority still likes today, it's confounding they lose so much. They rarely have enough federal majority for long enough to make the changes, or laws are repealed a few years later when maga wins again and destroy progress.

Yes, Dems support equality for all, so for too many people that overrides all the other stuff they do agree with. They absorb the propaganda from their media, use cognitive dissonance, confirmation bias, identity fusion, dehumanize victims and scapegoat to ignore the data of what really helps human health. Stop the regression in quality of life metrics caused by the unhealthy maga policies. Use Sagan's baloney detection kit to understand what policies help the most people for the least cost and improves societies overall. Raise all boats is the answer!
