I disagree. B doesn't make much sense to me.

Let's look at C. We have a wide range of opinions in he U.S. -- from libertarians, Tea Partiers, ultra liberals, and a vast majority in the middle. Also -- many people, sadly, pay very little attention to politics. It's amazing to me that less than 60% of voting age citizens actually voted in the 2008 election.
