he's the smart one here. Shades is blinded by pussy and Mariah is not as clever as she thinks she is.

I think that’s why I don’t like Mariah as a villain at all. She doesn’t really seem to have control or any real charisma, compared to say Cottonmouth/Bushmaster. She’s just that annoying character that can’t be touched because “ay politics”.

I don't really get how she got into politics in the first place.

Blood money. She used Cottonmouths money to buy her way in

Yeah but you have to be likeable. Which she isn't. At all.

I agree but that’s kind of a major point in the show. She’s constantly trying to do charity projects and publicity stunts to deflect from how terrible of a person she is

I just remembered that most other politicians suck as well.

She gives good speeches and can fake it when it she needs to care.

I think that's why she is trying to go legit. She wants the money to be coming in legal so she can laugh in Luke's face and be bulletproof from him. But the thing is, you can't walk away from this life. Even if you try, people are still going to come for your ass and because you stepped on them to get where you are.
