How have your political views changed over time?

I’ve always been suspicious of politicians (not without reason) and politics itself as an institution. We can’t live without politics. Our very existence is political – how we relate to one another and the world, how we fulfill our needs (and wants), our differing opinions and perspectives. Like many institutional problems, politics became (or has become) a law unto itself, something that serves its own agenda instead of (or alongside) what it actually exists to do. Isn’t it maddening the amount of money, time and energy that goes into ‘campaigning’ when the very people they’re supposedly campaigning to lead are in dire and urgent need?
