Would you vote for a guy who said: "The situation is bad, and I can't change it, because of the current international landscape?"
Politicians lie because they know that it will get them votes. The truth doesn't sell.

It is very much your prerogative to vote blind folded.

I can analyze and rationalize a situation as well as [almost] any politician.

I'd rather use a politician that doesn't pander, rather offers some viable plans.

Unfortunately, you are in the minority.
By the way, you don't have to write in English - I really can read Hebrew, I just can't quite write it.

Oh paeliz, don't get started again
