The more voters who understand that ‘why”, the better.
*************
Again, I see and respect your point of view. But consider the case of someone who works for you (which is relevant to voters because their representatives supposedly work for them). When that person fails to meet performance expectations, it doesn’t matter what their excuse is. And believe me they will have plenty of them. With all due respect, I’m not interested in wasting my time listening to a litany of excuses and false promises. Failure should not be rewarded and the accompanying excuses and rationalizations are just a waste of time.
For me, the “why” is just a side issue and a distraction. Politicians will always have an elaborate excuse and they are, if nothing else, expert spin masters who will only confuse the voters.
Politicians have myriad motivations for doing what they do; it all can become a confusing mess after awhile and they are very good at putting up smoke screens, especially right before elections.
What is crystal clear and easily discerned, however, is that many of them are not doing what they were elected to do. That is what I focus on. But I respect that you have a different take than I do. That’s what makes the world go around.
Regards.
You're fixated on the politicians and they will not change unless a sufficient number of them are voted out office and those remaining change their ways. It is the voters who must understand why polticians habitually lie. Voters make their own rationalizations for continuing to vote for a politician with much seniority, even when that poltician goes mostly against the voters interests.
The voters have to understand the whys and then act upon it concerning the politicians who ignore voters except when up for reelection.
