There is a difference between issues, or an issue, based on an individual (as you've reduced the situation to there), and the issues impacting people on a national scale. I would also add that economic hardship empowers populists, who shift political narratives with the electorate...

Posts express distrust in politics (e.g., "POLITICS ... is defined by lies"), skepticism of politicians' anti‑corruption rhetoric, calls for "corruption busting," term limits, and fixed Congressional income. Includes Italian-language debate framing a judicial reform as "questione esclusivamente corporativa" and referencing a constitutional referendum and magistrates' opposition.

"Identity politics" my ass. You mean human rights?

It's called the "popular vote", so no wonder they are worried.

Unfortunately there are never enough people with the political will to just run against them and vote them out of office.

Charlie my man, maybe once upon a time you opened for the Dead Kennedys, but now you're pushing for policy whereby the security state would have the ability to decide who can be a party leader? Yeah, i agree, Poilievre sucks, but this is not the solution

The way people don’t understand that it’s the privilege to have and care about politics that gives some the privilege not care about politics and contribute to everything that’s going on

Poor civics education, only listening to or reading disinformation, powerful pressure from bubble friends: exacerbates stupidity

Every time I hear a politician bemoan the impact of a scandal on the "trust in politics itself", I don't know whether to laugh or cry. The arrogance or naivity to assume that the public has even the merest vestige of trust in politics - *POLITICS* - is astounding. It's defined by lies.

The US regime needs to go

most modern politics are motivated by everyone desperately wanting to prove they were right 10-25 years ago. the more wrong you were, the more you have to make yourself insane. we live in a timeloop and we will do 2016 over and over again until someone admits they were cringe in 2012.

I see. Well I am not into politics, I care to know about you that’s why I followed you and asked if you don’t mind doing same too.

Don't entirely disagree, especially in regards to your point RE: Journalists, however this Government could do with being a heck of a lot more stable in order for me to care about it's survival. Especially it's policies towards the underclass of which I am part.

If only the regime thought they needed to follow the law, or if anyone held them to it.
2/8/26, 10:50 PM
Remove the illegitimate regime.

Witness intimidation seems the much more natural state of this regime

They should be worried. The American people have had enough of them and their endless greed.

Until real #corruption busting happens that sends lots of folks in both parties to jail and permanently bars them from public service alongside #TermLimits and fixed Congressional income legislation, I'm just going to assume every politician talking about corruption is using it for marketing.

The fundamental issue here is that politics has a huge status quo bias such that if you ensure people don’t have to care about politics you don’t really have to do much to hold a seat. But once you make people care about politics you’re gonna have a bad time.
Secondo Lei il fatto che gran parte dei magistrati siano contrari a questa riforma è solo una questione corporativa? M...

Sì, ritengo sia una questione esclusivamente corporativa.
