Federal agents kept smashing up weed shops in California after we legalized it. He seems awesome by comparison, not because he was awesome. Same with Billy C. We haven’t had an awesome president in my lifetime.

I think that likeability and presidency are not really related or relevant. I think that’s more about getting elected.
I think that leadership is about building and shaping the world into a place where everyone can feel safe and loved.
It’s about security and stability, about having an idea of what you want it to look like, being able to articulate that and then make it happen.
That kind of leadership seems to be in short supply and getting rarer.
I’m not sure why.
Its why Carney is so popular in Canada.
He hasnt attacked Poilievre. When asked he comes out with well reasoned and thought out plans.
E.G. instead of just “cutting red tape” to aid housing construction, which results in shit quality and developers timing completion to optimize prices; his plan is to directly get the government to build homes like it did in the 1950s and 1960s. This would also help get people into and trained in the trades, another of his promises.
Also, government employing directly will always be more efficient than contracting out. Because the contracting firms charge 5-10x per employee what the employee makes. For a western salary.
