Misses the actual pain points. These are good things objectively but these are not the things that people want change
Maybe we're learning that democracy fails when the people vote for the things they want over things that they objectively need.
And yet people in Massachusetts generally elected not to change. Maybe not as big a majority as expected, but by a solid amount. Maybe all it takes is paying attention to healthcare, education, quality of life, free college, etc. maybe we have at least one model and all we have to do is follow it, instead of negativity and blaming mysterious pain points that you never actually identify
