Even if it were true that the “American people are sick and tired of hearing about [Hillary Clinton’s] emails,” as Vermont senator Bernie Sanders asserted on Tuesday (there is not a scintilla of evidence that that is the case, by the way), that’s an utterly irrelevant standard to apply when judging whether or not something is important. Even if Sanders’s wobbly premise were true, that wouldn’t mean that the American people were right to not care about the issue.
According to Gallup, only a third of Americans worry a “great deal” about global warming. Would Senator Sanders therefore say we should move on from the issue? The American people are sick and tired of hearing about global warming, apparently!
As for income inequality, the raison d’etre of Sanders’s campaign, Americans express “relatively low public concern,” about the matter, according to Pew. Apparently the septuagenarian socialist should pack in his campaign, then: The “American people are sick and tired” of hearing him blast “the billionaires.”
