Well yes, thats true for the deluded supporters of the other political party, but the ones I support really do want to look out for me.

I'd still say they don't care about YOU. They do at least care that society functions, and understand that the better it functions and the better off its citizens are, the less crime and corruption "needs" to happen...

Though they quite directly cannot care about everyone individually. It is both physically impossible and counterproductive to effectively play favorites with those they know, or those that make pleas to them.

You're still talking about the strippers?

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

With the stripper You have a smaller chance of getting fucked.

[–] ZoteTheMighty@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 week ago

Actually, your chances of being fucked by a politician are notably higher

At least stripper cares for you as a human being.

Tell me you’ve never been to a strip club without telling me you’ve never been to a strip club.

Oh, yeah defo, the only time i've felt objectified by a girl was by a sex worker that realized that I wasn't buying

sociopath tend to go into politics not strippers

True, politicians are not like Santa Claus who magically know everyone by name, but maybe they are aware of people in your set of circumstances and can sympathize.

On the other side of the coin, many politicians run town halls and other events where you can meet them in person. How many of you nihilists here have ever bothered to show up to one or those, let alone vote consistently?

A national politician? Sure

A local politician though can be a different story

I like the Apple TV show 'Widow's Bay.'

No spoiler.

The Mayor is complaining about hsi job and all the idiots he has to deal with.

"But you ran to be the Mayor."

"Yes, because I was scared to let any of these nitwits run things."
