    Books by politicians always have inflated sales, it’s a (not so) backdoor way to influence them. This isn’t a new thing. I’m not saying no one is buying it, just that it’s a sort of meaningless statistic without more context.

      The context I’m using it for is I don’t think everyone hates JD Vance. I think most people know next to nothing about him. No one is going out to the polls to make sure he doesn’t become the VP.
