    They don’t do it because it doesn’t serve them personally. As we have seen time and time again, politicians are mostly griftfers that will flip on a dime and change their moral compass just so that they can benefit from the situation.

      By personally do you mean financially? Because I think an argument for personal benefit could be made for blowing the opposition out of the water.

        By personally, I mean money, power, favors.

        Any influence they can use for themselves.
