Politics isn't about left versus right it's about top versus

Summary

This quote suggests that politics should not be seen as a simple division between the left and right ideological spectrum, but as a struggle between those in power (top) and those without much power (bottom) in society. It argues that the true essence of politics lies in the tension between those who hold authority and those who seek representation or social justice. By reframing the political landscape in this way, the quote emphasizes the importance of challenging power dynamics and addressing the inequalities that exist within society.
