KN has been devining in the same majic crystal ball as No1, on any subject the answer is the same, 'that's what voters want'. You do not know the motivation of the voters, in my opinion the main motivation to vote for Trump was Clinton, not the 'pro-deficit platform'. When some other topic comes up we'll hear the same BS line from No1. Even multi-party systems can't come near the thousands of ways goobermint interferes in our lives.
"oooo" we hear No.1 say, "oooo but if they felt strongly enough, oooo"
Fugedaboutit, on a couple of issues the two main parties duke it out, on all the rest they're 100% in cahoots and the voter does not get any kind of say in it.
The voters voted on the pro-deficit issue? haha, at least it's the funniest thing on here in a while.
