The big problem is that we never see the flaws in our own politicians and hold them accountable. We would have to admit that we were wrong.
It's much more comfortable to believe that we chose well and it is "all those other ones" that are causing the problem.
Add to that the fact that we have become addicted to the benefits that we have that have become isolated from the reality of the true costs. It doesn't matter which political orientation you have. That only signifies which ones you hold dear.
I don't think good and bad really apply. They think that their own choices will get them what they want. They will continue to vote for their candidate like a gambler going to the casino and believing that they will win their money back.
Look at all the politicians that keep getting re-elected. Incumbents rarely lose.
I think the truth is hard to handle. Also, it often means breaking down the walls of everything you’ve always believed all at once, and that can drown a lot of people. So you try to hold up at least a few props so it all doesn’t come down at once. I think that might be what we’re seeing in some people. This is me trying to be optimistic.

Do you really think people see politicians are “good”?

That is a powerful argument, bravo…”Voting is no longer a tool of democracy; it’s a coping mechanism”.
It’s hard to see how people still believe it’s better or worse one way or another.
It’s hard to see a lot of things in the way people see things . Maybe because the truth is too hard to handle or too much effort .
