Life is challenging enough without politicians to confuse us.
People hate politicians, it's really in vogue right now to hate politicians, but we need someone to lead us into the new world economy, we actually need to make decisions and we actually need grownups.
I do think that sometimes, especially coming into this going straight from activism to being a candidate or to being a person who potentially, you know, looks like will be holding political office soon, I think we expect our politicians to be perfect and fully formed and on point on every single issue.
Putin and his advisers don't understand the power of public opinion in the West. They believe in conspiracy theories and that someone is orchestrating a malicious campaign against Russia. They don't realize that even conservative politicians have to react when newspapers and artists express their concern on such an issue.
People hate politicians. And I can understand why.
I feel sorry for many politicians... we expect them to be completely consistent and moralised when we're not.
Too many terms corrupts politicians so they only want to be reelected.
What we've seen is an attempt by mainstream politics and politicians to co-opt movements that galvanize people in order for them to move closer to their own goals and objectives. We don't think that playing a corrupt game is going to bring change and make black lives matter.
All too often politicians sign treaties in a hurry, without reading them properly, and without understanding where they will lead.
If the law is wrong, it is for politicians to sort it out.
