I have no problem with people who wish to get involved in the political process. Well, except that it always corrupts them, no matter how good their original intentions. They find themselves "playing the game" more and more to move up. Of course it starts at the bottom minus the "right" connections.
In my case, self-actualization comes to the fore to play. I do not have the personality nor patience for politics. I don't like people for a start I also have this habit of keeping my mouth shut until pressed, then stating exactly what I think, let the chips fall where they will. Unlike most politicos nowadays, I will not stumble around backwards over my words looking like a fool trying to appease anyone offended. Especially lefties, but anymore rightwingnut radicals as well.
Just not my game. As a Colonel once put it, I need to be kept behind glass to be broken only in case of war
