@qurlyjoe Or to put it another way, ruthless, pathological narcissism is a prerequisite for becoming a major political leader. 🙁
People who actually care, think, and emphathise aren't willing to betray or destroy enough people to claw their way to the top of the party hierarchy, and in the rare instances that they end up there anyway and then come into power, decent people don't last long (e.g. PM Joe Clark in Canada or President Jimmy Carter in the U.S.).
