But, not the politicians I voted for. It's always the other guys.

That would have been a more interesting question to ask. It's a shame they didn't.

Nah. At the end of the day it’s candidate A vs. B. Once they’re all corrupt you still have to decide between them and pick the lesser evil as you see it. They’re creatures of ambition and incentives, and the corruption is a feature of the system. It sucks but what can you do but vote for the corrupt dems or the corrupt republicans?

This is tautologically true for everyone all the time because most of the government is unelected.
