"Caring about policy is important - people in washington forget"
About this Quote
As a celebrity voice, Soren’s intent isn’t to draft legislation; it’s to puncture the vibe. The subtext is frustration with Washington’s performative layer, where messaging, optics, and tribal wins can outrank the downstream realities of a rule change or budget line. “Caring” is the key verb: she’s not asking for expertise, she’s asking for moral attention, for the kind of sustained concern that doesn’t evaporate after a news cycle. It’s also a quiet defense of ordinary people’s right to have stakes in governance without speaking fluent Beltway.
Contextually, it reads like a late-20th-century media lesson that never stopped being relevant: politics as spectacle has a way of eating policy alive. The quote works because it frames policy not as technocracy but as consequence. It shames the professional political class without romanticizing outsiders, and it flatters the listener only slightly: if they care, they’re already resisting the capital’s amnesia.
