Current Events > What exactly do paid politicians do for a living? Like, what do they do?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I understand they sign bills and shit.

But to get a full time salary, what do they do full time? What is their workday like from start to finish?

Senators, reps, governors, etc.

They sit around and exhaust all their energy on figuring out how they can avoid doing anything

Most of them are shareholders in big businesses, which is why we arent seeing anything done to break up monopolies or to force them to actually take care of the workers.

They work small voluntary jobs for bigger positions like a house representative, mayor or a senator, from there they learn the political process and prove themselves and get contacts. Then they try to participate and run for local council (do the same nonsense of building up supporters and learning more processes and "playing the game"), then work their way up to being mayor of a city, then run for a house seat into a senator seat and hopefully president.

Obviously throughout all that they try to make sure they represent the needs and interests OF THEIR CONSTITUENTS.

They continue doing so until eventually they fall in line with the corrupt nonsense that happens in the background, or they get pushed out by all the other corrupt politicians. It's a lose lose situation. To be able to get to any powerful position you're most likely going to need some corrupt backing. It's a fine line to play if you wish to maintain the best interests of everyone while not stepping on any toes, which will be almost impossible since there are toes everywhere waiting to be stepped on.

In the end all you'll be distilled into is just some specific talking points you've made to have thousands if not millions of people hate you regardless of all other policies made. You'd have to be a pretty fortunate and clean person to not have any dirt pushed onto you, AND EVEN SO all it takes is some sort of claim to take you out. If you run a good PR campaign you can hopefully dodge. In general keep your mouth shut and you'll do well if you just say favorable things.

I too fail to see the point of politicians on society.
At best they will consult the experts before initiating any kind of measure. Why not cut the middle man?
