Daily Poll 32: Can there be good politicians?
It’s Christmas Eve and hope you all have made your Christmas preparations or are able to get it all done at the last minute. Anyways today’s poll is on politicians. The amount of people who unironically like politicians is the the same as people unironically buying, reading and enjoying Son of Kal-EL issues but even so there are a few diamonds in the rough. Many people point to Ron Desantis and Kristi Noem over how they handled the COVID pandemic. Even so for every Desantis there’s a Gretchen Whitmer, Gavin Newsom and Andrew Cuomo using the power of the state to ruin lives on a personal and institutional level. Being an anarchist I say the state is an inherently flawed system that corrupts any person who tries to run regardless of the intention of the individuals. That is just me as always, feel free to leave your thoughts below.

Regardless of whatever altruistic or idealistic intentions any individual may have upon entering the career of politics, given the corrupt nature of the state at it’s very core, if they are to attain any semblance of effectiveness or pragmatism, they’ll be required to compromise in their initial values. Once that process has begun, forget about any hope of maintaining whatever character they may have begun with.

Probably me being naive, but Ron and Rand Paul were the only honest politicians. Everyone else, including everyone’s favorite Ron DeSantis, has to be at arms length or more; we don’t know of their true intentions.

Anyone with an ambition towards any position of authority should be questioned. And if they can’t handle being questioned, they don’t have the character for the position.
Also, as a people we need to learn the difference between power and authority, and stop conflating the two.
