A lot of people would describe people who want to be the president as people who shouldn’t be president, but I’ve never heard someone describe someone who would describe someone who wants to be mayor as that. When does the office reach a level of influence that it begins to attract individuals driven by a craving for power?
This tendency seems to be commonplace in humans. Big sisters/brothers like to tell their younger siblings what to do. You give people any power, there would be some who are bound to abuse it. That’s why there is philosophy about anarchism.
