minus-squaredom@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up8arrow-down1·1 year agoYOU know that. They don’t seem to.
minus-squareOkokimup@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoI was thinking more that the general population takes them too seriously.
minus-squaredom@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-21 year agoI disagree. They have the ability to kill people with little repurcussion

I’d prefer an honest politician. but the process of picking them selects for those who are dishonest.
