      Most people’s political preferences are not rooted in specific policy preferences. They’re rooted in identitarian narratives about who the good guys are. Most people vote for the candidate that tells them the most flattering story

      Well to me the good guys are the ones who advocate for policy that helps the people who need help. That improves conditions for everyone.

      Perhaps. But you’re not the median voter, who simply isn’t that informed or maybe even interested in specific policies

      I don’t even see the point of politics If not for using it to pass laws

      I don’t see focusing on policy as mystical at all. Why would you?

      For most of human history ‘my tribe beats their tribe, takes the spoils, and vanquishes the losers’ has been the reality. From that perspective, belief in ‘the best policies’ can seem very mystical Certainly mystical for any minority

      I don’t know. You can vote purely on policy and then be endlessly frustrated by the outcomes. Smartest thing is probably to treat politics as background noise and figure out other ways to have a positive impact on your own life and the world

          Ok well I disagree or with that because it empowers the people who will make harmful policies.

          Look around. They’re already in power. Whether you accept or not has zero efficacy
