I think voters often WANT to hear strong ideological opinions that they think will never change on things they care about too, sometimes when it isn’t there.

The local pot enthusiast crowd that I know we’re furious year after year when it wasn’t legalized. They would note that some politicians said they supported it, but it wasn’t passed. They we’re upset ignoring the fact that legalization would never pass due to the balance of power in another branch of government.
They often feel like they’ve been betrayed or lied to if the outcome they want doesn’t happen.
