    most people acting on good faith and in the best interests of their constituents or the American population at large.

    In the bests interests of their constituents aside from women, black people, Chinese people, Japanese people, Muslims (and Sikhs as collateral), Native Americans, Hispanic people, poor people of all ethnicities… but yeah most of the rest of the wealthy, white American population has historically been well-served by electoral politics for sure.

      The comment was meant to show contrast between politicians who actually use their position to serve a community at all or in general vs politicians who use their positions purely to enrich themselves, often by defrauding their community.

      Your statement detracts from the value and accuracy of their statement without adding anything of value to the discussion. And is thus a bad faith response.

      Please try to be more productive with your responses in the future. And maybe actually take the time to listen to what others are saying rather than just looking for opportunities to get on your soapbox.

      Thanks.
