So, most of the knowledge of what levers are exploited is going to come out of industry. I don’t expect him to know a common persons problems, but he might know how to help.
When Obama was nominated I pretty instantly had my pulse raised over Tom Wheeler (FCC) and Tim Geitner (treasury), only to find myself surprised by Tom. His pick Jessica Rosenworcel is probably the best thing in my lifetime, and common carrier laws have only really held because he’s been ready to stick it to Comcast.

It really depends, and a lot of what’s on record from their time in industry is the company line. it’s kind of counter intuitive, but things like ‘pork’ in bills in congress get cooperation because they can seek new organizations of power.

Condemning a genocide would have been an easy win for one, but it’s one of a dozen. She ran a campaign to hug the center, she got all the voters that will get you because 70/240 million possible Americans aren’t persuadable. But it’s all she tried. Gun control, health care, labor rights, dropping death penalty reform from the platform, a campaign run to save us from Republicans… With a bipartisan panel involving Republicans.
I’m not for an instant insinuating there isn’t a problem with both race and sex in America, but the problem is the people fighting it from the top are idiots who can’t do basic math. There were plenty of votes to win among the 80-110 million people who are eligible, but didn’t.
No I don’t think they’re going to be better off, but the blame is not giving them the thing they want to vote for. They outnumber you. They would have beaten Trump.
