to be honest this is such a tired argument. the whole “oh you don’t need to be a good person to be a good politician” is so stupid. hotter take. people with shitty morals who fly in the face of the law should not be the ones writing said laws. crazy.
Guys is it a hot take to avoid voting for someone because they’re a bad person? I’ve heard it’s not uncommon to vote for a bad person who knows how to handle government over a good person who doesn’t really know government as well.

Op of the other post, YES THANK YOU. Everyone that I’ve debated this with IRL thinks it’s fine to vote for a bad person, I don’t get it

if you lack empathy, discipline, humility, etc. you are not a strong leader you’re likely a manipulator working for self-gain
