    Let me try. So if someone is good at football, they will do good at football, does not matter if they have good values, if they are nice or if they are charitable.

    Same in politics, if someone is charismatic, they will do good in politics, being ‘a good human’ is not part of the equation to advance in politics.

    There are other skills involved in politics, but none of them is being a good human, sometimes a good a desirable skill is being perceived as a good human, but this skill has little overlap with being a good human.

    Let me know if I managed to make my point.

      I think I understand. That is why political parties try to get charismatic people to join them. Charismatic person will be able to trade that charisma for positions which translate to money and power. Thank you.
