“If voting made any difference they wouldn’t let us do it.”
Mark Twain
“Fool, what do you think? That we know anything about who gives money? That we give a damn about who they are or what they want? We have no way of running down them or their stories. We don’t care. We just cash the damn cheques, count the votes, and move on.”
Clay Davis, The Wire
“Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.”
Abraham Lincoln

Politics is an art which even the youngest Kindred knows something about. From the time a neonate is introduced to society, he or she begins to learn exactly how complex and convoluted politics in the Kindred world truly is. Many Kindred find it amusing at how cut-throat mortal seems, but they themselves know how deadly real politics can be. Individuals which Kindred (and non-bloodsucking opportunistic parasites) can latch onto and use include elected officials, pollsters, activists, party leaders, lobbyists, candidates, and staff members and advisors to all of the above.
