Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Politics isn't about solving problems. It's about money and power. That's it.

Politics is about getting people to work together towards a goal. This applies from the UN all the way down to community gardens. The power and money seeking are a corruption of its purpose.

and

The power and money seeking

are the same thing. Your goal may be to help people. The goal of conservatives is to help themselves. That's why they think liberals are misguided.

They think "Stupid liberals helping others, they're idiots. They could be helping themselves!"

Politics isn’t about solving problems. It’s about money and power.

Its both actually, in various degrees, based on the person/party.
