Politics is concerned with herds rather than with individual

Summary

This quote highlights the nature of politics as a collective endeavor, focusing on groups or communities rather than individual preferences. It suggests that the passions or sentiments that matter in politics are the ones that can unite and resonate with a particular group of people. In other words, political success lies in appealing to the common interests, values, or emotions of a herd, rather than individualistic concerns or desires. This perspective emphasizes the significance of understanding and mobilizing group dynamics and shared experiences to achieve political goals.
