Is political discourse really human-centric? During his MSNBC appearance, Rep. Dave Min (D-CA) challenged the narrative by focusing on how voters are frustrated not with systemic issues, but with individual figures like Elon Musk and volatile cryptocurrencies like Doge.

I feel like the same people who have defended college football's "system" (ie, opinion polls to determine champions) are the same people who defend baseball's bad umpire strikezone "system". They just have a love for mistakes! #HumanElement
