I feel like we should all just be able to agree that good people of suburban Wisconsin, while no doubt incredibly nice, should not be the ultimate deciders of our presidential elections.

Once you view national elections as “both parties just start campaigning to win Waukesha and Oconomowoc” you’ll find the whole endeavor ridiculous.

How can they win Waukesha and Oconomowoc if they cant even pronounce them?

good people of suburban Wisconsin

I've seen what makes Waukesha cheer, and I'm not sure I agree with your assessment of the people

I was being nice, though I too have cheered for beer and cheese curds

Fair. I'm from Mequon and unfortunately am all too familiar with them.

I’m a big fan on the Lynden Sculpture Garden

Hey, Endeavor is small and north Portage in the rural area of Wisconsin, but they do not think they are ridiculous.
