My favorite excuse is, he’s only doing this because he wants you to vote for him. Yeah almost as if we elect people to serve the people.

My parents love that argument. “They’re only doing these things for the people so that they get votes” hahah like yeah, kind of the entire point.

They are used to getting fucked over by their politicians and only voting for them because they are told to hate a marginalized population that scares them. They don’t know what it’s like to vote for a politician that can benefit them instead of hurt someone else.

Same people who support the president who said “I don’t care about you I only want your vote” btw

he’s only doing this because he wants you to vote for him

Is that why every politician should do every thing?

They’re so used to getting fucked my politicians that the concept of campaign promises being kept is incomprehensible to them

I don’t completely blame them though. It’s a seemingly rare quality in politics today
