Facts and feelings
Mark Sappenfield
In his article on the swing state of Pennsylvania, Simon Montlake includes a link to this article in The Economist: Is that how things feel? Not for many. That鈥檚 Simon鈥檚 point.
His article underlines that people generally vote based on what they feel, not impartial facts. That鈥檚 natural. But it can also lead to warped or incomplete views of the economy, government, or one another. And it鈥檚 a reminder that a broader worldview can reveal that how we feel isn鈥檛 the only 鈥� or often the best 鈥� lens.
