No. No we don’t.
Seconded. I really miss some aspects of life before the 24-hour news cycle and social media (but definitely not everything about that time).
Yeah this is absurd.
I loved it when Biden took office and he was boring. I didn’t need to keep up with what the horse did in the hospital.

The author points out the last 30 years of presidential candidates as their evidence, and paints a pretty nuanced picture of his politicians have dealt with changing voter trends. No one wants to vote for the candidate that doesn’t act like that can
emphasizeempathize (glide typing failed me) with them, even though that’s not really the president’s job.No one wants to vote for the candidate that doesn’t act like that can emphasize with them,
And what does that have to do with being a celebrity?
Also it’s not bad reasoning that a leader should be able to understands problems of everyday life, such a leader has a better chance of improving everyday life.PS:
I don’t think you mean emphasize. Although it sounds somewhat close to empathy the 2 have nothing to do with each other.That’s what the article is about: how that change has pushed politicians to be open about their flaws and having much more public lives, like celebrities. Meaning that voters vote for politicians who act like celebrities. The sentiment in other comments of “No. No we don’t.” ignores the reality of who has been winning elections for the last 30 years.
It used to be “have a beer with the president” now it’s a social following. Both are ridiculously stupid qualities to have in the highest office. And America is getting what the voters deserved with these terrible candidates.
