I know I’m preaching to the choir here, but it’s extremely sad to me that almost everyone who goes into politics, ESPECIALLY a presidential race, gets corrupted, desperate, or audience captured very, very quickly.

Even Dean Phillips on the Democrat side, who I thought had some interested points when he first announced his candidacy a few months back (actually talking about our nation’s deficit spending, debt, openness on crypto, younger, etc) seems to be more about making a point, ego, and desperate hit attacks on Biden, than actually running. And he’s Andrew Yang’s puppet at this point.

The political system and campaigning is beyond repair. Starting solutions have to be term limits and removing power from money in politics, i.e. super-pacs, and that’s just a start.
