During WW II only 33% would vote for a firetruck but now it's 94%. Firetrucks have made great strides now only 2% behind black folks.
Seriously though, I know what you mean, too many voters only want to know what party to decide who to vote for.
We're supposed to choose people to represent us but we've added a layer the founding fathers hadn't planned on.
Now we choose a party to choose the people who will represent us. When an elected person does something we don't like, we can't say they didn't do what the people who elected them wanted. They most certainly did, exactly what the party bosses and benefactors wanted, because that's who elected them.
