Policymakers are telling Democratic leaders that affordable groceries matter more than justice and accountability. Yet 9 in 10 voters cited corruption as a major factor in their vote. Corruption is the driving factor behind skyrocketing prices. Why sideline accountability?

I think AI backlash is an under-reported factor in this blowout. It's not *just* data centers. It's that people literally don't want to live in the Terminator universe.
