    All of our ghouls are awful, but she is one of the least awful. She'll fall in line and vote for more imperial bloodshed like the rest of them, but sometimes she speaks out against it as well so she clears that extremely low bar?

      Results like this are a limiting factor on how cool and good a politician can be. If you're too cool, you'll draw so much heat and opposition money that you'll be out of a job.

      The strategy for people in these types of positions is to be as cool as you can be while staying in power, use that power to lower barriers for cooler people who are not in power, and be ready to go full cool if the winds shift.

        Yeah, our system forces everyone involved to be complicit in its worst excesses. I know I should have a certain level of leeway or forgiveness for that, but it's hard.

          Yeah, it's tough to ride the line between calling on folks to do more and maintaining an understanding of what is feasible at the moment. Then you also have to factor in how less radical actions can enable more radical actions without letting that become an excuse.
