The system is always going to be a bit broken, since humans are running the show. I guess what I mean is that we put too much faith in our elected representatives. We hold them to unrealistic standards that we ourselves would have trouble holding to. They’re not machines, they’re not emotionless or impervious to temptation. They are not perfect. We expect them to be perfect. Better, somehow, than us. Which is by no means offering Trump a pass– he is, has been, and will always be legitimately awful.
So, Pete Buttigieg for president.
Imagine Pete as the nominee! What would Trump and MAGA country do with, how would they handle a young gay man who possesses a marvelous brain and the capacity to be rational and clear-headed?
Seeing that people thought Donald Trump was such a great idea, I’m entitled to back someone who’s light years ahead in the qualifications department, and who has an actual beating heart in his chest.
