From The Mouths Of Babes.

For someone who is so cynical about government I would have to question why one would run for office.

Involvement in politics with such cynicism should be taken with great caution; to think that someone who has such little faith in "government" as a whole entity, should get involved in the first place is highly improvident. Government as a whole should not be doubted. Our government is what gives us our daily luxuries which we revel in exploiting and most of us blindly take for granted. Our government allows us to have a voice in the way our country is run and allows us freedoms that many people have killed and died for.

If one chooses to represent oneself by sarcastic and mordant comments about an system you have no faith in, perhaps one should think twice about participating in the electoral process, let alone having a hand in campaigning and running for office.

If the issue at hand is the current administration, one should be more specific in one's public condemnation of the authority that grants us our liberties. I wonder what a woman who is sentenced to public stoning would think of such a cavalier attitude towards a system that dictates a fair justice system and equal rights; but then again it could be pretty easy overlook such vital errors in corrupt authoritative systems as a North American white male.

To love, and choose, and create and exist, without fear. To decide and vote and matter. To be provided for and taken care of. To have health care, and fair justice, and security, and financial assistance. These are things our government provides for us and these things should not be mocked.

As a politician, you are tied to a system that one would hope you have faith in. A lot of faith in. Again, if the problem is with the current administration, and your aim is to endeavour to change it, then be specific in your revilement and be prudent in your public depictions.

Sarcasm and sardonicism are all well and good, and while I understand that one wants to be portrayed as witty and educated, slighting a system you are actively involved in only makes you appear foolish, imprudent, and irresponsible. Exactly like "the government" in your comments that you freely broadcast and circulate to the public.

Perhaps you are well suited for politics after all.
