But for everything else? You want people who, when push comes to shove, depend on folks you trust to get out the vote for them. Because that gives you power.

And that's why you vote for corrupt, evil politicians who you can't trust: because it's not about their morality, it's about your power, and the power we build collectively by participating in electoral politics.
