    That is ideological naivety. You are operating with a belief in the way the world should work but not with an understanding of the way it currently works.

    Practically, this is almost a non-issue because as a single person you have so little impact on politics that your naivety is irrelevant. But it means that your actions may be counterproductive to your goals.

      I agree with you. I know I have plenty of ideological naivety, but I believe the only way to change the system is for people to keep pushing for what they believe in. That’s why I’m voting for her.

      It’s a “be the change you want to see” situation.

      It’s also why, as a 55-year-old man, I decided to switch careers and move into education. I work in an elementary school now, making very little money, because I want to help better prepare our children for the future. Instead of just complaining, I chose to take action.

      Yes, I have a lot of ideological naivety, and I’m proud of it.
