Not a hero.

move to cali and vote for him

Ron Paul ain't the best either

Don't call a sleezebag politican a "Hero" ever again

Unless if you want to be gutted

i thought it was pretty funny when Rand got rekt by his neighbor 😆

You would sicko

he was gettin some with his neighbor wife!

Politicians are scummy, yes.

But jesus fuck he got such an unfair treatment on that one talk show

Politics in liberal democracy revolves around compromise and the selling out off voters to achieve power.

I never expected myself to come to a Leftypol server and actually agree with the people here.

He literally tried explaining why the War on Drugs was a failure and the host was literally being a dick

Believing in the promise of any politician is like trusting the snake not to bite you when you bring it across the river.

You all seem to be a great bunch

Ayy thanks 🅱

Most leftists outside of identity politics and liberals are anti-establishment.

democracy is a rancid ploy

Only reformist cucks genuinely believe change can come from within the system.

You can see who the least corrupted people are

just makes the ones controlling the narrative and public opinion the ones actually in charge

The fence-sitter I assume? @Hooty

Democracy is a noble goal, but it's so easy to corrupt

instead of people that want the best for the country

A system exists only to propagate itself—how then can you expect change?

it's not even a noble goal, regular joe is too busy with his life to care or know anything about politics

it's not a realistic model

when most people have lives

You do not use the system to change; you change the system.

Still, can't help but feel that way

Politics is separate from everyday life because of the way things are.

😔

People's agency is removed and transferred to obscure delegates and representatives.

True democracy ought not be impractical because it regards practical matters.

Only by making politics the matter of elected officials convening in Congress to debate and cast votes does it become impractical for democracy to be all encompassing.

Corruption rates

What

yeah

?

who would've though
