quoting note1nx3…2znqSomething I've been thinking about lately is that it's too much work for people to learn the histories of political people.
We almost need a website that summarizes their views.
The world moves too quickly for everybody to do independent research on candidates and representatives.
In fact, this isn't limited to political figures. News outlets are the same. There are some excellent small outlets that nobody knows about. (Although at least on this issue there are some news ranking sites)
