We’ll never know how much extortion there is in government. What we do know is that we have to nominate leaders with spotless records.
And spotless children. And spotless parents. And spotless siblings. And spotless inlaws.
That’s like throwing 23yr old virgins in volcanos. Not a great basis for long term strategy.
....”What we do know is that we have to nominate leaders with spotless records”....
First, there is no such person...and do you even now think WE elect the people after the last two elections? Moreso do you think any decent person is going to even run who isn’t already connected or been bribed ?
What little ground we gain is quickly snuffed once they are in their positions, just as we have seen time and time again.
