That’s not to say I don’t feel that way on occasion, because I sure do.
Don’t believe is basically the same as don’t care.
Corruption happens. It’s a long tradition in politics. Since Watergate more people acknowledge it, but it goes back to the early days. The Daley Machine, Tammany Hall. It’s just how things work.
