That's fucking crazy talk right there. Like, you don't even care if you could have a beer with them?
That in particular makes me think of GWB, I used to hear that a lot. Hey, seems like a great guy to have a beer with! For a war criminal, sure. Great guy.
Lesser evil is all I'd ever hope for from a politician. We should be hoping for boring administrators, not celebrity cult figures or heroes. But most people treat electing the President like they are rooting for their hometown football team, like fan(atic)s. There's only so much even the best of them can do especially when faced with lunatics in Congress and the Supreme Court.
Speaking of the Court, if you ever wanted a reason to vote Democrat (or GOP if that's your thing), there it is. Those fuckers are in there for LIFE. Long, long after Trump and Biden are worm food their picks will be putting their stamp on the country.
To be sure there is the candidate, then there is the person in the job. Pretty much two separate things. Obama was a top-level candidate. Hillary was a terrible one. I reckon the difference between them in office wouldn't have been much, in fact just like I think Biden has done a bit of a better job in office than Obama did, so might Hillary have done. Biden is also a weak candidate unfortunately due to age (and the speech issues he's always had).
