I'm 48.
This is well traveled cynicism, not mindless. What you call cynical, I call pragmatic.
Politicians disappoint, politicians promise a lot and deliver minimally/ at least I tried.
Most politicians make sincere efforts to fulfill all their promises, and most promises are, in fact, kept. But the system is designed to frustrate to some extent, partly on the belief that big changes are risky and we should move slowly and partly because people don't agree in the direction we should go.
