Why Can’t America Have a Sharp Young President??

@BohemianBabe now watch all the Spin Doctors and professional liars will say Biden won

@BLP11520 Biden won on substance. On how they looked and spoke, Trump won.

@BohemianBabe

Lol … I know, right??

@BohemianBabe what happens when you don't take people on merit, ability ,and so forth, but instead condone or ignore everything the candidate does or says - just because of the same political affiliation that you are...

@Justmeraeagain The really sad thing is, people voting for Trump actually do support him. It's a legit cult. Whereas Biden voters, we're just doing harm reduction.

@BohemianBabe I guess I don't buy that because I think they're both crazy but that's my own opinion

@BohemianBabe

None have given any good reasons for being elected …

@Soossie Tonight, yes. But if we're going by results, Biden's presidency has been really good.

@BohemianBabe

I think not … I was against Trump, but I have to be honest that during his presidency world was a safer place …

@Soossie you are right we would have a wall we would not of had the Afghanistan debacle. We would still have Bogra Air Force Base.

@Soossie Just because Putin et al. were idly and patiently waiting for the US to dismantle itself; Trump was a joke on the international stage. Good ol' "Don't interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake". As soon as that was no longer the case, and the US came out of It looking absolutely weakened, the geopolitical shìtstorm we're in immediately began.

It's a recurring pattern in history. Far-righters here we're/are like "the country used to work much better when Mussolini was in charge, and as soon as they killed him we precipitated into an economic catastrophe", ignoring that the economic catastrophe happened exactly as a consequence of Mussolini's policies.

Humans have a hard time understanding consequences that happen with a lag from.the time the triggering action happened.

@Elessar

I agree … what you say is true .. but also let’s not forget that the modern days politic is not controlled by presidents but the huge cartels, part of which are parties of all sort …?

@Soossie Countries being led by a plurality of people isn't actually bad, presidents shouldn't be kings; the problem is the composition of the plurality or (in the US case) the pluralities being picked among a finite and tiny (N=2) set. But that's still a better system than, say, Russia, where a 70+ years old that'll realistically govern until (natural) death is the one and only one authority, above everyone else.

@Elessar

Very very true … the only problem with plurality could be the level of knowledge of people … some nations as we have seen, have turned against themselves because of the lack of economic, political, and social knowledge ….?

@Soossie Yeah, but also single-man led countries would suffer from the same issue, I wouldn't say it's an issue specifically of pluralities (be them democracies or oligarchies). Nonetheless that's still a problem.

@Elessar

Well!! I hope that you know that I’m against one single man leading a country … Most likely, a country like that would turn into a dictatorship …

@Soossie I thought so, don't worry 🤗 And yeah..
