# To win, politicians must pander to voters.

*November 17, 2024 · Twitter/X*

To win, politicians must pander to voters.\
\
Yet voters are ignorant, irrational, and biased. Voters often demand the impossible.\
\
Winning politicians therefore tend to be sociopaths who promise the impossible.\
\
This is the most fundamental problem of democracies.
