    what if he just wasn’t that corrupt?

    Then he probably wouldn’t keep doing so many favors for the ones who keep giving him money.

    he has mostly worked as a public servant with a working-class background

    You’re naïveté is adorable 🤭

      adorable

      and you seem like you’re at about a 14 to 16-year-old level of maturity regarding politics; railing-against-the-world, “my eyes are open, don’t you see what I see??”, polarized opinion and discourse untempered by personal experience of compromise or impossible situations, lack of empathy, and insistence on unrealistic all-or-nothing outcomes delivered immediately versus consistent, incremental improvement that takes hard work and nuanced understanding.

        Typical “Enlightened Centrist” equating healthy skepticism towards and independently acquired factual knowledge about corrupt authority figures with immaturity and distemper 🙄

        Also fucking rich that you’re accusing me of a lack of empathy while defending one of the most powerful humans in the world siding with executives against workers and war criminals against innocent civilians and international courts 🤦

        That you can’t distinguish between the factual and reasonable criticism of a well-informed elder millennial and the sulking of an impatient teenager says a lot about you and little to nothing about me.
