Honest question. Seems like everyone is a heaping piece of shite that can be bought for a price

It’s dog eat dog, and the worse kinds of people often make it to the top.

I don’t know if it’s all of them. But it’s a disproportionate number of them compared to the actual populations they are supposed to represent.

If you consider Donald Trump a politician, I don’t think he’s a piece of shite. When it’s nearly unanimous that all the other politicians hate another politician, it’s very likely the case that the other politician is the polar opposite of the vast sea of piece of shite ones.

Only the slimiest survive as you go up each level of politics. At the local level there as some good well intentioned people. Every level they move up only the deal makers advance.

By the time you get to national politics nope, no good ones left on either side.

The process sucks. It's all about money and power and keeping both at all costs.

Think about the type of person who is willing to run. If they aren’t nefarious then at best we are talking about a complete narcissist. Yes. They are all pieces of shite.

No. Only the ones who win are. They are the liars. The truth tellers always lose.
