Rude Pundit: Our Stupid Clinton/Sanders Battle Is Gonna Lose Us the War with Trump

[PATRICK]

88. The most decent or "inner liberal" person

in the world might not escape the money box that really cemented the drive to power, the type of power and its maintenance. No one really surmounts their worst failings by the entitlement of being president. Disappointment in this regard cannot be prepared for enough. The reality will suck mightily. Even if certain manners or "increments" would be enough to carry on with the good will of people they either will not happen or be counterbalanced by savage attacks on democracy, law and life. Such has been the nature of the continuous strengthening of presidential power and national policy more and more as paid for not voted for. I could care less about the wonderful character or potential or inner rebel that can turn things around against "the system". They are writing this fatuous script for Trump of all people! Even if you start out a rebel the chances are good that becoming the president you are becoming the system. Too much power. You free to get worse. You are shut down when you try better.

As for corruption the touch of money or power(their is something the same about both of course) is like an acid bath for the moral soul. You are gilded like a golden god and out of touch pretty much with the rest of the universe, the human World taking on its own false definition. Even a little bit of either can bring dismaying changes in the character of decent, friendly people. A common mode for the unexamined morally weak person is to hold onto money and power as a sociopath. And many morally weak people are considered "great" using the completely stupid benchmarks of a self entitled elitist upper crust. Human interests disappear into non existent and certainly underfunded fantasies and fig leafs.

None of us humans are immune. Few see poverty as a blessing. We all fawn over heroes that barely do their duty but do it in a friendly impressive fashion. And we all do immensely destructive and stupid things, waste time and resources as if we think our permanent rooms are already booked in the earthly paradise. Stupidity is only the misapplication of intelligence and action, the weighing of emotion as superior both to the real experience which precedes or the critical thoughts that follow(but often don't).

All candidates are showing either by wise warning or unwitting example that we are screwed.
