So what is your policy on potholes?

Nice, short, observation from an informed commentator I admire.

Populists are very good at broadcasting what they are against, and who is to blame for shortcomings in the current system. They grab attention with wild, often unsubstantiated theories, and make impossible promises. When they are unable to fulfil these, they deflect attention from themselves by heaping further blame on their chosen scapegoats.

They are less good at coming up with practical solutions to mundane problems such as road maintenance that affect us all.

Basically, if you don't have a policy on filling potholes, you shouldn't be running for political office 🙂

Yes, take into consideration the presidential election we just had. Neither candidate pushed infrastructure or our homeless problem.
