Commonsense

[Merlin99]

When a politician says something is commonsense, what is he actually implying? I’ll reserve my opinion until I see others opinions.

It's an attempt at "engineered consent". Common sense is something that *everyone* desires, so therefore if you do not agree with him, you must not want "common sense".

The problem is that "common sense" is one of those nebulous phrases that really doesn't have a specific meaning.

He's implying anyone that disagrees is wrong.

It depends on the politician.
A very few of them actually do have common sense.

I can't say that for most of the leadership though.
