    When have politicians ever done something that wasn’t for optics?

    I’m Spanish. A party called “Podemos” (relatively leftist) didn’t ever condemn Maduro and didn’t support the state police intervening in Catalonia during the referendum, knowing full well it was bad optics when it concerns the majority of Spanish population. Not everything is optics, there are principles.
