Top-level
 I am with Aria on this: Being a very political person myself, I have seen it far too often that people fall into the trap of putting all their hope into charismatic leaders. This is not healthy, as it will inevitably lead into brutal disenchantment or, in order to avoid it, fanatism. 2 comments
@mina @awkapuma @ariaflame I agree, you can see Morena (México) as an example, a lot of people idolize that party, even with its flaws like corruption, narco-colluded, sect-colluded (like Clara Luz and NXIVM), violent responses to protestors in touristic places and protected areas, etc. It's not healthy, as Mina mentions. First doubt, then fact check, then like/love if you want, but a politician isn't usually at the same level as the people they "work for". |

It's ok, we can disagree and its good, there is no only one way of thinking. My respects.
I just think that the word "politicians" can be taken out from debate. We can place just "people": We dont need to idealize "a person". In that way, i think we do not contribute to further devalue and erode Politics as a fundamental tool for social change.
Because real power, right wing and neoliberalism dont want us to believe in any politician or the Politics.
