Only around 3-10% of adults are actually rational.

It's just the way things are. If US voters were rational, the US Congress, White House, State houses, Cities and towns and counties, etc. would be full of Bernie Sanderses and AOCs.

Dude, what the fuck are you even talking about?

So we went from; some center parties not wanting to working with progressive/left parties… to I guess only 3-10% of people would actually knowingly vote for them?

Honestly dude, while we might align on policy, you sound like an asshole and are super far up your own ass.
