There’s one thing that unites voters across the political chasm separating Bernie Sanders from Donald Trump: They’re all deeply unsettled by the present state of affairs in America
Dear Washington,
If Uber drivers tend to be more politically informed than your average worker, Iowa’s Uber drivers are the most politically informed on Earth. Talk to enough of them and you’re liable to learn a lot about how people are living and how they’re voting—and why.said as I climbed into his cherry red Chrysler 200.
Raised in the town of Lovilia , a speck of turf located 30 miles southwest of Oskaloosa, she felt the calling of the world. Force worked overseas as an international business consultant, first in Japan and then in Russia, unsure of whether she’d ever live in the U.S. again. It was only after a visit home for the holidays, and a chance encounter with her future husband, that Force returned to Iowa. But small-town life wasn’t an option.
Ultimately, Force said, she was leaning toward Buttigieg. But she’s prepared to vote for any Democrat who’s on the ballot in November. “I’m an educator, and we need money for our schools, and I just know we’re not going to get it without Democrats in power,” she said. Geoffrey, who was born in the U.S. but raised in Uganda, thought he was leaving dysfunctional and corrupt governance behind when he returned to America a few years ago to attend college.

A 45-year-old mother of four, Golberg has a part-time marketing job that keeps her busy anywhere from 15 to 25 hours a week. But it’s not nearly enough. Not with three of her kids attending college. Not with this economy so unstable for people, like her, who don’t have advanced degrees. Not with the endless political disruption and all that it could entail.
“I liked him, I liked his track record, so I voted for him,” she said. “But I can tell you I don't like his behavior and the way he goes about things. He's lacking in social graces, I guess would be the best way to say it. And he is a bully.” These days, Carter said, two things provide his “comic relief”: Uber rides and Donald Trump. Sometimes they overlap.
