What are some of the best politicians that have been active or are running the country right now?

This is hard for me to say. I say this as someone who is mostly moderate.

Donald Trump- Love him or hate him it is hard to deny that some of his policy was fantastic. he formed a task force targeting human trafficking (which is an issue close to my heart)

Bernie Sanders- I absolutely hate his economic policy proposals, but I absolutely can NOT deny he is worth respecting. Before the 2016 election he got hammered with media smears.

Tulsi Gabbard- One of very few democrats I can say absolutely have the peoples best interest at heart.

Trey Gowdy- The guy may be a little further right than I would normally like, but he is on the fucking level. He is certainly not perfect, but he absolutely represents people well.

I admit I lean towards the right, I lean proudly. The thing I want more than anything is for people, all people, to band together and live happily. the worst conservative is as bad as the worst liberal, who is as bad as the worst moderate. no politician is perfect, few are even good at all, but they do not have to be.

The people I mentioned above are flawed (believe me, they are REALLY flawed) but each of them have a portion of their personality/career/belief system that I absolutely respect.

Hating people is pointless, find what you like about a given representitive/politicianwhatever and hope that whatever they do well, they do more of.
