I don't believe that for a second because of first-hand experience. I'll admit it, I fell for Bernie's fraud completely & I got involved heavily with the local Democrats in 2015-16 & have had multiple direct conversations with Jay Inslee, Pramila Jayapal, and Adam Smith (governor of WA likely running in 2020 & two Congressional reps) plus countless one on ones with state legislators. With the exception of Adam Smith who is simply average, they are all pitifully stupid. If my child showed the cognitive challenges I've observed in trying to communicate with Jay Inslee I'd be devastated and I don't say this as an insult, I say this literally. The man is incredibly simple, but very likeable. I'd totally hire him for a public relations position, but I'd never EVER trust him with any sort of managerial position where he himself would be making any decisions. I'd bet you anything that if you yourself had an average IQ or greater, you would share my assessment if you met these people.

THAT is the real lie imo, that our politicians are ANYTHING but public relations reps for the controlling financial interests in the world. They aren't. The politicians themselves are simply too stupid and greedy to be conniving and plotting. Before you left Reddit, did you ever read that Kevin story? I'm telling you, only slightly more socially saavy "Kevins" are the ones filling the state houses across the country.

Pramila Jayapal is hopelessly dense and illogical, but I don't believe she is evil. 'Educated' does not equal 'intelligent' or 'clever', and 'elected' in no way equals 'capable'.
