If you're sick and tired of the politics of cynicism and polls and principles, come and join this campaign.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Nevertheless, I resist cynicism and continue to believe in the possibilities for genuine democracy.
In the end, that's what this election is about. Do we participate in a politics of cynicism or a politics of hope?
A lot of my traditional audience does not appreciate my foray into politics.
I do not want to be a pawn in a political campaign.
Politics is not a game for naive thinkers. You may go in as an idealist, but you certainly won't come out as one.
I really don't have a lot of interest in national politics, and it's because I'm a skeptic. I think you can accomplish a lot more locally. I don't want to spin the wheels and not get anything done.
The degree to which campaigns have become dominated by marketing is breaking the spirit of democracy, and we're all just so sick of it, across party lines.
I am not averse to politics, but that does not mean that I am going to join politics.
Saying you have a political solution is like saying you can write a pop song that's going to stay at the top of the list forever. I don't have many illusions about this, but I'm not cynical about it.
The best way to appreciate our political process is to volunteer for a campaign and support a candidate you believe in.
