Democrat tactic: Lie about who you really are in order to get elected. And once in office, revert to your native form. Look kind of conservative when election time rolls round again. Lather, rinse, repeat…

Remember, when running, Democrats (and RINOs) always say they are more conservative and then they really are. SEVERELY conservative, even! But Republicans virtually never say they are more Leftist than they really are. There’s a reason for this.
And that reason is that voters, with only a few exceptions, usually hate Leftism, and without the deception, there would virtually never be a Leftist elected in most places. Democrat candidates can’t just be themselves. They can’t just be who they really are. It must be a major burden to keep your real beliefs and identity hidden all the time! There are only a relatively few places where you can totally let your Lefty freak flag fly.
In most places, Democrats and RINOs in an election have to pretend that they are something they are not. They cannot afford to be honest about who they actually are. Not and still get elected, anyway.
The goal for them, then is to erase all identifying characteristics of Leftism, as much as possible. And that makes it hard on voters. My recommendation is that you bring your phone to the voting booth, and look up every candidate where it doesn’t say specifically that they are Conservative.
That helps, but Lefty politicians try to make sure that there are few references in the general culture as to what they really are. You have to look at the issues that they espouse. Sometimes you really have to read between the lines.
And that is a dirty shame. It means that the voters do not get to make a choice between two positions, but are disinformed. They don’t know what they’re voting for. That is not a good system at all.
