    Politicians aren’t leaders. Stop expecting them to be. They exist to serve the people. If they don’t, then give them the boot.

      They don’t do that either.

      If they don’t, then give them the boot.

      We can’t because the money-packed system self-selects for greedy assholes.

        Just because they don’t, that doesn’t mean it isnt their purpose. And yes you can, you just won’t.

      We can’t give them the boot for a good while. In the meantime, what would you have us do?

        Thinking politicians are meant to lead you is cringe. I’m not a sheep, I don’t need to be lead. Their only job is to represent us. Unfortunately, they’ve been corrupted and only represent the ultra-wealthy.
