CMV: I want boring politics

I don't want unprofessional showpeople to come and rally up a certain group of interest and who go about everything according to their ideology.
I want boring, pure public servants who want to gather data to understand each phenomenon and utilize resources to tackle each issue in order of urgency and try to find the best overall solution, prioritizing the most socioeconomically vulnerable group for social sustainability. I want people who are there to do their job and not try to paint an image for their voters, like by "fighting woke culture" to please close-minded people who have not met a trans person or a person of color once in their lives.
I want parlaments that pause akwardly when someone even says the word 'woke' during a conference and goes on discussing something else entirely. There's actual policymaking to be done, like ways to help citizens find employment. I want demagogues stuck in an image of a past that never was to get laughed at by those who get back to actual work.
I want boring, tasteful debates in elections. I want people with no charisma, who are focused on understanding their area of specialty. Are they entertaining? No. But they are there to do their job and

the timing matters more than people admit and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone Time will tell.

From a practical angle, this comes across more reactive than planned so the response doesn’t surprise me That part stands out. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

If you zoom out, the main issue seems to be how this is handled and that’s where the disagreement starts Time will tell.

From a neutral view, this feels like a half-step, not a full move and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone Interested to see the follow-up.

If you zoom out, this reads stronger on paper than in practice which makes the reaction pretty predictable That’s what changes the context. We’ll see how people react over time. Others will probably see it differently.

If we’re being honest, this comes across more reactive than planned which is why the comments look the way they do Hard to say where this lands long term. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

Putting bias aside, there’s a lot said here but not much clarified which is why this is getting picked apart That part stands out. This could age very differently in a week. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
