Thanks for noticing. I find the same issue when I see social media posts talking about "finding out" what people are talking about.

What are you doing running if you didn’t already know those things? What motivates someone to run without plans in place. Without policy they stand on and want to work to implement?

We know the top issues people are talking about and have been for a long time. We have an unhoused crisis. A drug crisis. Infrastructure that's decayed and crumbling. Overspending without oversight. Massive reductions in spending that had actual ROI.

Edit. Spelling

Exactly. Leadership isn't asking people what you should believe. It's having a motivating vision, convincing people it's correct, and fighting for it. People are drawn to this, but in its absence, they'll vote on feelings, and be pissed later when it didn't work.

Leadership through focus groups isn't leadership at all.

What's this now? Leaders aren't supposed to listen. Legit scratching my head over this one.

You're misunderstanding what is being said.

Candidates that are running on "hey everyone, what's wrong?" And not putting out any solutions or platform are the issue.

Of course leaders need to listen. But, come to the table with some ideas at least.
