    They’re supposed to represent what the people want

    They are supposed to listen to their constituents and do whats best for them.

    Sometimes that means not giving them what they want, cause the average person is a fucking moron… and half of them are dumber than that.

    Great example would be Brexit.

      But who’s really the moron here? People that don’t like people that call them morons, or socialists who say they’re for the working class, need the support of the working class for their movement to succeed, but publicly call the people they need support from “fucking morons”?

      Trump also says similar things about people whose support he needs BTW.

          You sound basically the same, but if you’re wrapping yourself in the red flags of failure while Trump is wrapping himself in the American flag, why would you think someone would even bother to hear you out?

          You can’t win over the working class because modern socialism doesn’t care about being appealing to the working class. It’s entirely focused on being holier than thou towards liberals which accomplishes less than nothing. Net negative effect on society in real terms.
