It is naive to be politically optimistic. If you wish to be personally optimistic, that makes sense, as you can control many variables. If you believe based on your education, experience and opportunities that you will succeed professionally or personally, that is completely reasonable.
However, if you are politically optimistic, you haven't studied history or understood the nature of power, money and politics. You can NEVER trust people to do anything other than the worst. That is the governing rule of politics. Anything else is youthful naivete. We need more disillusionment a la Abbey Hoffman.
