well, THEY may be good people, but the persons they support may or may NOT be such good people
at the very least, they should realize that people attracted to powerful governmental posts could have either of at least 2 motivations,
1. to do all sorts of wonderful good things for/to society,
or
2. to mis-use the power for their own gain (and/or ego-maniacal ends)
If the “left” would at least acknowledge this possibility, that there COULD be a misuse of governmental power by certain politicians on occasion, then they would be more likely to screen their candidates to better achieve their true, goodygoody goals
I wish we could convince them of at least that much... we’d all be better off for the effort

You will never convince them that there could be any misuse of government. They don’t consider the millions killed by Hitler, Mao, Stalin, etc as any misuse of government. Just look at how they treat you and me and the tea party in general. They demonize real Americans for daring to speak against dear leader, it is a small step from that demonization to actually supporting the elimination of those that stand in the way of Utopian policies.
See, to them it is PROPER for their leaders to eliminate anyone or anything that is standing in the way of the Utopian world that they desire and could accomplish if they would just get rid of their opposition. It is, after all, better for the remaining citizens if you and I were just eliminated and then we wouldn’t be standing in their way.
What they don’t understand is that there will ALWAYS some enemy or opposition that is preventing the implementation of their Utopian world. That is why the left is always creating groups and then pitting them against each other.
They will not be convinced, because they are useful idiots and they will be used, until it is their time to be killed.
