Becoming a politician is not Lynch's pursuit, it's not that he thinks politicians are bad.
Politicians are good; they possess privileges different from wealth. The privileges politicians hold, in essence, surpass those created by wealth.
But the power of politicians is not everlasting. For example, the President can only serve for two terms, and after re-election, he must wait eight years before participating in the next election.
During this time, he can't do anything. He can only be active in society as the "President from xx to xx."
Indeed, by then, the President may still have some power, but what's the use?
Just an old man whose words nobody wants to listen to. Only when the successor needs to show tolerance, will they not discuss the foolish plans made by the former President when mentioning him.
But most of the time, successors are not so tolerant of their predecessors.
