In the sense that voters hope against hope that the people they elect won't be seduced, cowed, or otherwise influenced by lobbyists or special interests...

yes this is true.

When politicians spend more time playing party politics than they do trying to run the country, regardless of their party affiliation...THAT becomes a major problem.

Voters who are so wrapped up in "We have to elect our guy, no matter what" are a major problem.

Politicians should be willing to work together instead of adhering to a strict party line. The whole "Grover Norquist worship" on the right is bullshit and is an example of what's killing our country. I'm sure there is something similar on the left side...but I'm not aware of what it is.

Looking through this forum, it seems like it's fucking Man U and Man C fans trying to beat each other over the head with stats...

Just let the fucking game play, it's not like your vote matters anyway.

4.5 years later and this forum is still here. Didn't the Hillary vs Trump election just prove this point?

According to the etymology of the word idiot, it comes from the Greek word, idios meaning private person or layman i.e. Non-politician.

So yes, yes we all are idiots here.
