What you want out of politics is not the purpose of politics. Politics is an emergent phenomenon that appears naturally within groups of people.

People/groups engage in politics to exert control over the social environment.

It’s not about what I want. The view I shared above was shared the Founding Fathers of the US, and the writers of its constitution. For example Federalist 57, 68, and 76.

So I’m not talking about “politics” as an emergent social phenomenon I am talking about the deliberate process of setting up a government.
