    My guess is in 10 years we will see him run for president similar to Trump. This won’t end well.

        In the wise words of Billy Connolly,

        The desire to be a politician should bar you for life from ever becoming one.

          It’s true for leaders in general. The best leaders I’ve had were people who didn’t want to be, and each person I’ve seen focus on “leadership skills” and trying to climb a corporate or other power ladder has been abysmal at it.

          I would like to see a minority of the house representation of elected people from individual regions with term limits, with a majority of the house being regular people randomly selected to serve for a defined amount of time.

        Yup. We keep learning the same thing over and over: Don’t hero worship people, demand they be better and stay better or don’t support them.

        He will eventually do something that will make the OP situation look like nothing, just like Elon, Joanne, or Trump. It’s just a matter of time.

        You should demand better then either, neither should be in charge of a sandwich shop, let alone a country.

          It’s always a vote between a giant douche and a turd sandwich. Probably always will be too.

          Obviously, I’m voting for Harris. I’m just saying, on the relative scale, there’s a hierarchy.

              “Should”? Absolutely. At some point if both candidates are truly awful I suppose I’d have to vote third party.

            It’s as hopeless as me trying to explain why not voting is usually worse than voting for the better option

        You’re never going to be offered a choice between Mr. Beast and Trump, you may be offered a choice between AOC and Mr. Beast though
