| Oct 19, 2022 at 8:36 | comment | added | user0 | @user253751 Is that truly the case? Leaving aside the question of what proportion of the electorate consisted of such relatives. Are you sure that their idea of policies which reduce Covid isn't (rightly or wrongly) different from yours? "On issue X, people voted for policies which I consider foolish" isn't quite the same as "People don't care about X". I propose that in whatever country you are referring to, there might be less diagreement about the policies responsible for deaths due to lack of heating then there was Covid deaths. | |
