people will only vote according to their vibes (how they feel about a candidate) or culture war nonsense absent any material goodwill done towards them.

americans have been edged forever by this point. do literally anything for them and they'll support you. even if its just 5 extra dollars out of their paycheck. thats why sanders was such a threat, he wasn't just gonna give people tax breaks that expire in 4 years.
