People who are actually Dem don't like playing dirty. The nature of believing in things like equality and justice and so forth tends to mean you believe in telling the truth and doing things on the up & up. Pretending you're something you're not is anthetical to one's upbringing. "Ends Justify Means" isn't usually a belief held by those on the left.
Whereas, if you're a sociopathic grifting opportunistic dipshit, you'll exploit this to nefarious ends.
People with truly noble aims are always playing catch up to people with ignoble aims, because the former operates under a set of rules, and the latter does not.
I think that's why chaotic good tends to be held above lawful good. Lawful good sits by and does everything by the book, resulting in a constant game of catch-up. Chaotic good puts a cap in a ceo's ass and makes the others paranoid.
Yeah playing by the rules only works if the other side is bound by them as well. So the Lawful Good basically has one or both hands tied behind their backs while they take these relentless cheap-shots.
I guess lawful good works best when there’s a critical majority of people following the law and suffers when the legal system breaks down (as it has clearly done in the US).
Chaotic good is the best one out of any of them and I've been shouting it for 15 years
"Luigi good"
"Evil will always triumph because good is dumb."
That’s not what I said.
It's a reference. And he's not wholly wrong.
Ah, yes, I missed it, because I am good.

TIL ignoble is a word.
Tell that to Nancy
Or basically any of the neoliberals that have dominated the Democratic party for the last 40 years.
