You know, that’s how people get elected.
Regardless of campaign promises coming to fruition or not, policies get made or changed with every administration and/or Congress. Legislation gets passed even if it is not the legislation you were promised or were hoping for.

None of which you as 1 voter will ever be able to control or influence (Trump lost the popular vote). Certainly nothing that warrants your obsession with corrupt empty promise bureaucrats only worried about re-election

Sorry for the breaking news, but the government won’t legislate you to being a rich man or poor man. That’s on you.

To anoint them with any more importance beyond civil servants cashing a check, is to grant them all the power they don’t have.

I never changed any subject. Someone asked what this does to re-election and I asked why they cared about the fate of politicians.

Then you barged in with nonsense about empty promise politicians affecting our lives and in response I pointed out how your little vote doesn’t change anything anyway.

The truth hurts.

And you obviously get off on being confrontational for some bizarre reason.

I get off on correcting people who are wrong, you happen to be an alarmingly easy target.

And you are so obviously insecure that you are unable to debate minus the hostility. Reminds one of the very little man in The White House.

Fact is, the story is simply too believable to dismiss.

Trump supporters, please name something in the piece that stretches credulity. You can’t.

The simpleton Pence could never have written that. And he would never do anything that might backfire and ruin his chances to slide sideways into the Oval Office.

But, I agree that the person who wrote it is correct, (if you really do investigate this, you will see them say this on their social media), that people will believe what they want. Eventually, the truth will come out, and people are going to lose it....kind of like the Q Anon followers are dealing with right now.

It's all out there, in the open, for anyone to see. The person who wrote it is not even hiding it. Once you find out who wrote it, it should start to make sense - or you can keep believing what you want after finding out, and then you'll be in the same place that the QAnon believers are in right this minute.
What did this source say that isn’t easily believable?
