I understand you worship Sanders and all, but yeah he should. Politicians are liars.
I am really sick of humans, be it about religion or politics always being paranoid. There is no such thing as a utopia, and in the real world politics is as much full of crap as religion, but outside of becoming a third world anarchist country full of warlords, exactly what would you set up yourself?
I think you don't understand that EVERYTHING humans do, be it in the public sector, or private sector, be it a business model, a political party or a religion, are still all things run by humans, and as such every aspect of society can be subject to abuse.
If politicians are liars it can have a lot to do with humans like being lied to. Just like religion sells you fantasies. Just like business marketing will lie to you to get you to buy crap you don't really need. In the end we are still a flawed species. No, it is not perfect, and there are certainly some directions depending on economic stability in a period of time are not at the moment advantageous to the bulk of society.
But we will never live in a perfect world, and as crappy as the west can be in politics, when you compare it to the theocracies of the middle east and the tyranny of North Korea, we are still better off.
So instead of seeing a Utopia yourself, make an argument for the policies you'd like to see, instead of expecting a perfect world.
