Re: Do Americans Really Want a ‘Politics of Joy’?

"You feel an urgency but also a sincerity: They honestly don’t know."
Why?
Election politics is basically the politics of joy. Politicians and
commentators could say whatever they want to day. People could believe
whatever they want to believe. Contradiction with objective reality is
not an issue. More freedom means more joy.  If people continue to
suffer, blames the other party.
Of course thinking voters honestly don't know. And could not know.
What is left the joy of voting. Voting means autonomy. And voting per se
is supposedly, the right thing to do.
