45. True, but...

"As involved political junkies, of course this stuff horrifies us. But in a frontline election cycle, voters care about inflation, reproductive rights, healthcare, and national security."

That's not wrong, people do care about kitchen table issues, but 2 things can be true at once.
They can also be horrified about this and it can sway peoples vote.
We are an affluent society, there are plenty of people who care more about this than boring healthcare.

it just can't be ignored, republicans wouldn't ignore it if a Democrat did this.
