The problem with politicians is we are conditioned, from a very young age, to believe they act in the best interests of the voters who elected them. That is not what they are about at all. Never has been.

Like killing 50,000 American kids and god knows how many Vietnamese to “keep us safe from communism…”

Power, money, and ego, yes! Your best interests will only be met if and when it benefits them too.

It’s been that way since there have been politicians. If people would realize this, they’d be less disappointed when the people they elect screw them over.

I wonder often, is voting a vital part of the democratic process or a mechanism to fuel the machine with more self-serving jerks, and is that, in fact, the essence of the democratic process?

Biden may be better than Trump, but so is black mold.

I realized this with Nixon. I’ve not been disappointed since Nixon. The opposite actually. I’m never disappointed because I expect them to screw me.
