While that article has some good, relatable points, Vance still managed to be elected, so there are a lot of people that won’t be swayed by this at all. Maybe some of the Democratic voters that didn’t vote last time will take this as an incentive to go vote.
What I don’t get as an outsider - this guy (like other equally weird persons as for example Mrs. Palin) is in a rather high political position.
How in the world are these people elected? Is it only about being in the preferred party or were their opponents even more incompetent?
