Recently Elon Musk changed an FAA $2.4 billion deal with Verizon so he himself could put Starlink into the mix replacing Verizon so he can reap the benefits. JD Vance at Paris Al Summit vowed to be Anti-Regulation, why? Elon Musk wants to acquire OpenAl. Just like all the Big Tech Bros that donated to Trump Administration transfer period to The White House (Tim Cook, Mark Zuckerberg, and Bill Gates just to name a few). All these companies have one thing in common: All had something to do with "Al" as a marketing ploy. Facebook - Al Influencers, Microsoft - Al Chat Assistant & Generative Prompts, Google - Al Chat Assistant & Generative Prompts, and Apple's iPhone running on Al “features".

CFPB was cut, which saved Americans a total of $5 billion a year from cap on Bank transaction fees to $5 alone. That alone saved $5 billion a year. Guess what? Elon Musk & Donald Trump killed it and it isn't coming back. Something that saved Americans $5 billion a year is gone. Doesn't sound efficient or small government, what is 'Big Govt' is gutting programs that help Americans save money. The Big Banks & Big Corporations can scam you more efficiently.

DOGE was strategically named to mirror Elon Musk's DogeCoin which has been rocky over recent years. Coinbase, Ripple, Robinhood, Kraken, and many more all donated millions to Trump's Inauguration also even led 'superpacs' to influence the election pouring a total of around $135 million into getting

Sure this is all a coincidence, same with wanting tax cuts for the rich costing America millions in taxpayer dollars while sponsoring a bill that will cut $880 billion on Medicaid which will negatively impact millions of American lives (children, adults, and 2 in 3 nursing home residents). Really interesting how no one in their orbit truly cares about politics, they seem to be PR for this corrupt bunch of degenerates.

Egg Prices? Housing Market? Where are they sticking their necks out for YOU, the voter? This is a disgrace.

Because in order to gain or main political power you often times have to lie, pretend and backstab others otherwise you most likely won't make it far in politics.

As politician you have to serve interest of few ones on disadvantage of many ones who you have to convince to elect you. This task isn't possible without deception and lies. That's why every party has a program before election and different ones after elections.

It is. You win points by stepping on the poor and those you don't care for, ruin reputations and lives, for a few years of power and money

Zack-Bann · Answer

Politics was invented in ancient times to control the carnage of war.
Various factions fighting for dominance over a piece of land and the establishment of a well organized order there
They turned to negotiations and tactics and tricks to control the masses

Today, most nations aren’t factions lead by power hungry war lords
So politics have become hypocritical and pretentious.
Essentially an endless conversation that doesn’t have any “teeth” controlled by money hungry old men

That’s why it’s a dirty business

Lynx122 · Answer

Because a government is fundamentally just a big system of redistributing resources and that can be done effectively and efficiently to get results way better than if each person just fended for themselves, or those resources can just go to a few people and that's it. Where there's money and power to be gained there will always be a lot of bullshit going on. Just look at Trump jumping back and forth between Russia and Ukraine to try and get some more access to natural resources. It's a very new and creative concept for the U. S. 😂

You have to almost be willing to do anything if you want to be in politics so that's why it has a bad reputation.

Summeroflove · Answer

Because it is many people are not there because they have good civics most are there for their own self interests as well as a power trip. There are some good politicians but it’s a slimey sleazy business full of backstabbing and shady shit. Some are definitely worse then others I will say.

jshm2 · Answer

They don't.

So your question is moot.

You need to specify an aspect or case within the political spectrum, institution and alignments before giving a judgement.

Lunch aid to school kids is political, so is bombing other countries. But you cannot make an overarching assessment of all politics with the same yardstick.

genericname85 · Answer

cause people will litterally step on each other and the people they're supposed to represent just to get more power. everyone who's more "normal" and isn't a toxic, lying scumbag of a human will be stepped on and removed from the competition early on.
