I want politicians focused on who they can help more than who they can hurt. Like fundamentally, ignoring all of modern politics, thats what healthy societies are supposed to look like.

It still works that way in a lot of places. The US has definitely lost its way a long time ago though.

How sweet that you think the US ever had its way.

Skipping the obvious bullshit of the last 25 years, there was Anita Hill, and Rodney King, Reaganomics, Reagan racism, Nancy "I don't give a fuck about this until it affects me" Reagan, then Kent State and our military just straight up murdering our kids, Nixon, CIA killings of prominent activists, murder of a president, McCarthyism, that whole anti-immigration/racism era where white Americans rammed god and their view of patriotism in everything (people today STILL think those things were there since the beginning), union and strike busting, child labor, failed reconstruction era, more president's killed, "compromises" over fucking slavery, wannabe King Jackson not giving a shit about other human beings nor any possible check on power or anyone else's ideas, a fucking Vice President shot a guy (the first time), begging the first president to be King, and failed attempts at presidency and democracy before that (pre-constitution).

I really glossed over a lot too.
