Agreed. What is/was your position in government? If you don't mind to say just keep it very general or vague. I didn't know someone who gets it was in any office in the US.

City level.

Corruption is an issue at every level because psychopaths are overrepresented in positions of power.

Even if 99% are good people, the shitty duplicitous ones with money get to the top.

Everyone sucks at leading because they either want their way too badly or not badly enough.

At the end of the day you have to understand that reason and rationality are a best case outcome for impulsive, hormonal meat beasts.

Our education system actively sabotages us in favor of depressed, conditioned organic cogs.

There's a lot of local positions and some relatively leftist pockets in the us. This is why leftists need to vote more in small local elections.
