How much do you know about politics?

How much would you say you know about politics in general?

My experience with political knowledge is... frankly, terrible. I don't have zero knowledge with politics, but I haven't taken any political classes yet (though I'll be taking AP US History, Gov't, & Politics next year so hopefully I'll gain knowledge) and similarly haven't really done much super deep researching (especially after the election), so when I make a point it tends to be way off-chart and/or implausible.

Well, I used to work in it, I've ran campaigns in 6 different states, for all different levels, I've also worked as an economist. I'd say my knowledge is much higher than the lay person

i think there is a large disconnect here.
I view this question as asking about politics, and political machination. Others seem to view it about history and policy.

You cant understand politics if you dont understand voters. And voter patterns are often driven by history and policy.

This I disagree with, as someone who's both done and studied this, people on here either give way too much credit to the average voter, or assume everyone votes in blocs.

You want to better understand voters? The majority are uninformed, apathetic, and easily persuaded with wedge issues. That includes highly accomplished and highly educated. The harder part is discovering the wedge issues. Yes some history and policy come into play but in all honesty, messaging and how it is delivered is more important than what people actually stand for.

More than anyone else on Atlas, at least. I understand what a dark and terrifying world we live in.

The moderators show their elitist distaste for the common poster! Down with this feudalist system!

Don't forget #FreeHarding

I speak for every poster oppressed by the moderators! I speak for the common poster! Many are afraid of the tyrannical moderators, but not I. I stand firm, and I bare my neck. I dare the elitist moderator conspiracy to banish me. They are afraid of me. They know my banishment would mean a full scale rebellion.

you truly are a Liberatore.
