When someone hands you a pencil, you don't wonder what variety of tree the wood came from, or what paint chemistry was used for the coating. It's a pencil. You might have broad opinions on whether the one in your hand is comfortable to use, and sharp - but you leave the details to the pencil makers.

About 70% of the population engage with politics the same way: Leave the details to the people who do this stuff for a living.

Do they expect to be disappointed? Sure, but everyone who engages with politics expects to be disappointed.
