Bernie Sanders is a liar. Republicans have voted 14 times to fund food stamps, and Bernie Sanders has voted 14 times against funding food stamps. @Grok please confirm these votes.

Sharp comparison. Both show how perceived detachment from the struggles of ordinary people fuels public outrage.

@BernieSanders has been in congress since 1991. He's NOT royalty. The only Oligarchy in the United States is congressional lifers. TERM LIMITS NOW. None of these lifers has made America better.

Because it’s incredibly difficult to shift particular kinds of misconception from the public mind, especially when they seem to suit what we think we know. In the case of Marie Antoinette, Let them eat cake suits the idea that Marie Antoinette was so culpably distant from the reality of peasant life that she thought cake was an optional meal item for the average poor French person. I would also hazard that it makes us feel a bit better about knowing that she got her head cut off: Well, she was that snobbish that she told them to eat cake. Serves her right. It’s like John Lennon’s celebrated remark, Ringo wasn’t the best drummer in the world. He wasn’t even the best drummer in the Beatles. We know that, in fact, there is no record of Lennon ever saying this to anyone: there are only numerous reports that he is supposed to have said it, but there is zero evidence of him actually saying it, and the earliest record of anyone saying it dates from after Lennon’s death. Nevertheless, the idea that Ringo was a rather inept drummer suits some people’s idea of what kind of guy Ringo was (i.e. the everyman figure who was lucky enough to be in a band of geniuses), even though the reality is quite different. (Ringo was a good drummer, and certainly the best one in the Beatles.) The point is, if a belief seems to support how we want to feel about the world, it will endure, whether or not it’s actually true. The world is driven much more by people’s needs and desires and hopes and fears, than by facts.
