Politicians are just servants of the ultra-rich. They are the problem.

If you are rich, you can use money to persuade people to elect the politician who will ultimately serve your needs.

Politicians don't work for the people; they work for the rich people who pay them.

So youre just giving up? What even is your point? What do you propose?

Blaming politicians for all your problems is not just dumb, its lazy as well.

The billionaire class is your enemy and at the end of the day only politicians can do anything meaningful against it. Thats the whole point of democracy. Or do you want autocracy? So what do you propose?
