Summary

This quote suggests that one of the reasons why people feel a strong aversion towards politics is because politicians are often more focused on winning elections and gaining power rather than pursuing truth and honesty. It implies that the primary motive of many politicians is self-interest rather than serving the public or seeking genuine solutions. This lack of truthful and sincere behavior within the political sphere may breed distrust and cynicism among the general population.
