it's a job that attracts all kinds of narcissists, if the parties can't filter them out, that's what they get.

This is why we neeed to stop electing men.

The odds are much lower with women and other people.

Just saying.

A lot of disordered behavior is a weirdly effective substitute for 'you must have solid ego boundaries and a larger than normal dollop of confidence to survive in this job' in the short- and medium-term
