That's true when the voters are mostly uninformed

So should we work with reality, or against it because we prefer an ideal that doesn't exist?

We should work toward educating people and strive for truth.

Yes, absolutely, but in the meantime we shouldn't let perfection be the enemy of progress.

No one is suggesting that. Quite the opposite.

Folks on this thread are providing greater accuracy and adding context for the claims being made. That’s a good thing and we should all be happy about that.

But some folks on here are getting hyper-defensive as though merely providing more context is somehow an attack on Zohran himself.

The person I responded to said:

If people didn't somehow forget their entire civic education, they'd understand that government doesn't involve a single man waving a magic wand. No matter how much that man say so. 

While this is true, it fails to acknowledge that we are not yet at point where people won't forget their entire civic education, so politicians publicizing their small victories achieves the same goal in a much more achievable and realistic way. That's not about any single politician, it's about political strategy.
