Spoken like a person born with a silver spoon and a life of privilege

I am such an idiot. I jokingly once said that I might have been headhunted for a political position. I never took it seriously. Recently, when I brought up all of the recent political issues with an ai; it suggested I run for office and try to tackle all those issues directly. Out of the solutions suggested, that one seemed one of the most far-fetched. I immediately dismissed it as ludicrous. Me? The person who can't hold down a conversation for more than 20 minutes? The person who has -20 charisma? The person who has neither wealth, a supermodel appearance, or political connections? Totally ridiculous. But it would explain this pressure to get both my finances and appearance in order, among other things. It would also explain all this pressure to get me used to working with groups. I don't have a criminal record, but I do have debt and enemies. If I ever did run, I'd be raked over the coals and dragged through the mud in short order. I did play nationstates for a while and did surprisingly well at it. Then someone seemingly got pissed and hackers took it down for weeks. It was never the same after. Playing a game like that gives one an idea of what tough decisions politicians have to make, but at the end of the day, it's still a game. It would take far more than that to make me into an acceptable political candidate. My younger self might have had what it took because I didn't believe in anger then. I was a very different person. Unfortunately, bad experiences and even worse choices in friends cost me dearly there. That person I once was is all but gone with only minor remnants being left behind. My current self doesn't have the temperament for it or the patience necessary. That could change but not fast enough for what's needed. Somebody saw potential, but potential alone isn't enough. I know I need to write some letters, but this psychological warfare being waged through media of all kinds has been very taxing. I am so sick to my stomach from the anxiety and dread I can barely concentrate on anything else. My current mental state isn't good. I may have leadership potential but lack in too many areas to be an effective one. This does explain everything. If nobody will step up I maybe could, but it's such an extreme long shot. I think there is a potential solution. There are millions of other people far more suited to being a political figurehead than me. What I could see myself as perhaps is one of many idea people behind a person in power. A political consultant, perhaps. I do have some letters I intend to write regarding recently, but I need to be in the right headspace to do it. I doubt they'll make much impact, but I should be able to get them out eventually. The chances of accomplishing anything is slim but better than zero. If the whole theory has any merit, it explains so much. Yes. I am zealously against bigotry. It's something that can trigger me to anger in very short order. Bigotry has caused a lot of suffering and death, and some part of me very vehemently hates it. But right now, there is apparently a population of at least 77 million bigots. Can't really get rid of them. So you were concerned about their rights being respected and voices not being oppressed. The bigots hypocritically want to be accepted while refusing to accept anyone different. You were trying to get me to accept them, but given their recent actions, it's very difficult. It's not impossible, but one hell of a challenge to tackle. I do have some ideas. I should be writing them all down. I still need to do more thinking, but yeah, I may have some possible solutions.
