@CCoinTradingIdeas The lesser of two evils is still an evil. It is that very mentality that perpetuates it. Vote for the underdog if you have to, but dont vote for evil, lesser or otherwise.
@CCoinTradingIdeas If a person hasnt acted evil in the past its a safe enough bet, particularly if we vote all our politicians in with that mentality. Sadly we dont though.
I'm all for wiping the slate clean but youll still need to elect people in the end or stand a much worse fate
@CCoinTradingIdeas yup, thats why we as people could/should be a check on that power. If we didnt let corrupt politicians get elected, if they knew exercising power in a corrupt way caused them to loose the vote then they wouldnt have power with which to be corrupted by.
You seem to forget that power corrupts @freemo.
I personally think that if every corrupt politician was hanged today, there will be very little of it happening for the next 10 or more years... until they forget.
