I think what disturbs me most about politics is that people who seem like they aren't stupid beyond imagining, people who I call friends, pick a politician or party and go all in on it.
No, your politician is shit. They aren't a good person. They aren't trying. Stop. No benefit of the doubt.
I do not understand how we can look at the past three hundred years and not treat the political class as vicious, conniving thugs who need to be merely tolerated and constantly harassed to do better.
