    I don’t know that the right listens to their base so much as they have identified ideas they can exploit. They rally around political hot button topics that drive turn out and engagement.

    As far as the democrats go, I can’t really argue with you there.

    We need to dismantle the underlying system that allows a two party, money driven electoral system to exist. How you do that when it requires the cooperation of both parties is a question I don’t have the answer to.

      Definitely

      Republicans don’t try to help their base

      They just try not to make it obvious that they’re making their lives worse
