    This is needlessly nihilistic, man.

    There are tons of politicians who are doing the job for the right reasons. Sure, there’s assholes, but there are assholes in every single profession on the planet.

      I thought the fediverse would have read the classics and know the references but I guess if it’s not Trek or Star Wars nobody gets it.

      Issue is its skewed for politicians since its a game of power and ethics are drastically more inefficient then corruption. People that will go under the table and do sketchy stuff lie and stuff like that have an advantage over people that refuse to do that even when it’s beneficial to themselves.
