Equally sarcastic and condescending, but far more nuanced. It's a requirement of people who work for think tanks or politically motivated organizations -- on both sides of the isle -- to over-simplify. For people who study politics, economics, or whatever, it's infuriating. At the same time, you almost can't expect anything else; democracy is a game where you win when you have the most (marginal) voters. You enlist them easier through anger than rationality; Rationality requires work on behalf of voters.
