casual slurs aside, bettering the lives of your constituents is what politicians are supposed to do, why is that supposed to be some giant gotcha? Not just you, but in general, that is an underlying frame that many people routinely adopt - that making their constituents lives better is a dirty act designed to swing elections. God forbid people have an option to vote for someone who makes their lives better. Like: literally yes, please, actually do something that will make me want to vote for you for a generation. Unironically. I'm 100% serious. That's what you're supposed to be doing. And yeah, sure, politicians dole it out slowly so they don't have to do too much, that's not really a revelation either.
