Because, all politicians, maybe a few exceptions aside, are paid actors essentially You have one "think tank" writing all their shit, like all of it, they don't come up with their speeches and ideas on their own, they are written down for them, and their job is to preach those to the public The whole political spectrum is controlled that way, victories are losses are predefined, it's the WWF of politics Do I have proof? No That's just how the whole circus looks like, to me
