ITT: “The whole system is broken and it will never get better because every candidate is awful and good people never run. Why does nobody like me ever run for office?”
Also ITT: ”Why would you run for office if not for personal gain? ”
I know you’re just being cynical, and I’m just poking at you… but really, though. For the people, by the people, and of the people. If you hate the people running so much, seriously, step up and run! That’s the entire point of our system!
I’m usually a proponent of that ethos. I do take part civicly. I think the further up the ladder you go the more polluted your ethics tend to get. We appear to have it slightly better in Canada, for the time being. I’ve lost hope for you dudes down there. I think you’re fucked. Sorry.
I don’t know if you understood, I already hit my ceiling. I’m not willing to compromise any more to actually be able to do something.
I truly wanted to leave this world better then how I found it.
But in a society made for psychopaths to thrive I don’t think I have it in me. Even If I could hold on, when I got to a position that matters I probably sacrificed so much that I would be little better then them. Not to mention that probably I will be surrounded by awful people that make me wonder who am I doing this for.
Basically, I don’t think I can do it, just hanging out with those shitty legacy kids already takes me out of the game and you (unfortunately )need those conections to advance. But they say shit like, "I bet I can spit in that homeless " or "I can’t wait until my grandma dies so i can inherit "
They can go places because they grew up in a bunch of places that allow them to know everyone important in a country, ivy legacies. But then they have the moral values of a sociopath at best…
How do you create change if you have to be around these people and not lose hope
