I honestly don't think people like that would ever allow me to climb the ranks within the party—especially if they caught wind that I’d much rather see them behind bars. 🙂
That is why I am searching for an alternative, though it proves to be quite a challenge given how limited the options truly are in this country...
If you were in my shoes, purely hypothetically, which way would you lean?
Look, I work in law, so I know the legal system, how the government is structured, and what a "rule of law" actually means inside and out. I know how frustrating—and frankly, kind of delusional—it would be to try and change things from within this country. So, as far as good intentions go, I'd rather just focus on small stuff... things that probably only matter to the specific people I'm actually helping...
entering politics just to get ahead? I'd pick some centrist party for one reason alone: so none of their coalitions felt totally forced or weird...
basically: if I have good intentions, I just carry them out quietly without all the fanfare at a local level. But if I were looking to actually profit from it (which, trust me, I'm not), I'd go with a centrist party.
My version of being politically active is just showing up to vote and signing petitions that actually make sense to me. 🙂
