I wasn't talking about any particular administration. I'm talking in general, regardless of who's in charge.
If there's anything we've learned the last couple decades, it's that we need to actually set rules with consequences and not rely on old gentleman's agreements and convention to run the government.
Even if that's being done after a third world war instigated by the dipshits and the US as it is collapsing.

It's a response to a message left by a disgruntled government employee
What we've learned is that no politician is ever going to hold themselves or their class members to account, even if it comes at a great cost to their constituents, unless it's for cynical reasons. We have to organize at the grassroots level in order to make sure our representatives are representing our interests. They just aren't going to do that for us, despite all the money that goes into making us think that elections alone could ever fix this.
