A prime locale to talk bribery, suspect campaign funding, and all other instances of political corruption. The shadier, the better.
The Politics of Compromise, Shall We Dance
Luis Peña stood at the office window; his eyes fixated on the near-perfect lawns of Parliament Hill. Traditional media declared the polls brutal and urged him to quit in shame, while some social media advocated for his public hanging. Every carefully planned policy seemed to go catastrophically wrong and only deepen public hatred of him. Where democracy once felt sacred, now, it was the stage of his undoing. The beloved politician, who once dominated the polls, was crumbling, and his family name was in shambles.

The outrage over Project 2025 says a lot—not about the project, but about how far we've let our government drift from the Constitution. Because if returning power to elected officials and dismantling unelected bureaucracies feels "authoritarian," maybe the system we've accepted isn't as democratic as we think.
