Wish everyone was facts over feelings but unfortunately just looking at how people can vote shows this to not be the case.
Feelings still have a massive impact on who obtains power, a person with no plan but strong charisma can win just as much as a person who has all the evidence and knowledge but has been poisoned as the villain by media can lose.
Facts are the most powerful when you are on an equal playing field, but on anything else where you're reliant on others to win, they are secondary.
Feelings cloud your ability to perceive, which makes facts appear differently for you than for someone else. The brain isn't a neutral organ in the slightest.
To discount the power emotions have to strictly adhere to facts is admirable in principle, but a completely losing strategy as shown by the years of Dem growing power. Something more people need to recognize.
