Unfortunately, DissidentSound, you are quite correct about most people's reactions.
For politicians, politics is something you announce that brings in the lucre, likes, and lays.
For writers, activists, and people who bicker on forums, politics is about solving problems and building a better world.
For normies, politics is about putting on a team blazer and shouting yourself hoarse for a few hours every few years.
This problem isn't going away, and all political programs need to allow for it. :-/
