Politics and Money
Do politicians spend more time raising money than dealing with their elected positions? Do they start out idealists and become corrupted by the system? Or, are they simply into politics for what is in it for them?
From my favorite movie, Used Cars, Rudy Russo explains how it works.

As Elon Musk and the DOGE continue to uncover the swamp, IMO, a serious look at how people get elected needs to be examined. Hopefully, despite human nature, a better way may be found. Term limits? Limited campaign time?
In Colorado, we have several examples of incumbents running for reelection. Once reelected, they resign and their successor is picked by committee, not the voters. Stinks, IMO. Looking at you, Demorats.

For many, it's always about the money...
I'm afraid you are correct.
My late brother the body shop/mechanic/used car salesman etc was quite fond of the movie Used Cars also. I personally think it was one of Kurt Russell’s finest performances. One of my brothers favorite sayings after selling a car was “is this a good car? Well I looked it over utilizing all of my accumulated knowledge, and it appears to be to me. However it could break in half on the way home, But the good news is that you will own both halves!” F Hubert
We would use the movie as a training aid.

Great movie. Then there's politicians. And forgive my ignorance, but it seems odd that Colorado should be held hostage by leftists.
Had to copy and paste your comment. Colofornia has a large pool of trust fund snots with time on their hands.
