Is charisma or having a big name more important for presidency than intelligence and reliability?
Post Body

As a Canadian, i’m aware America is home to some of the greatest minds on the planet, which makes me wonder how Biden and Trump are the best candidates America has to offer?

From what i’ve heard, both left and right leaning individuals think Biden sucks, and the left just vote for him because they think anything is better than trump. How is Biden the best the left has to offer? He is far too old and shows the symptoms of a deteriorating mind, yet he gets chosen to run the country?

Then on the other hand, the only good traits trump has to offer is his charisma and name. He is not very intelligent, self-centered, and he has a history of being a shitty individual. How can the right not provide a more intelligent, mature, and honest candidate? are those not traits that the right values?

I am just genuinely confused on how these 2 individuals are Americas best candidates.

EDIT: Real question here is do the majority of americans really think having a moron as the face of the country is in its best interest simply because of his name and charisma?

Never forget the RAVE Act and the hilariously draconian punishments for adding baking soda to cocaine.

The cabinet is a concession to the corporations. You pick it as payment for support. Congress is corporate owned. The president would get killed or have child porn planted or simply obstructed into the ground then smeared by the corporate owned press as ineffective.

The president is not a King. His competence is irrelevant because if he's weak people will do what they want regardless of how sensible it is.

What is important is his ability to make people fall in line without blowing them up, especially internationally.

Obama had a ton of really bad takes (such as the plan to create a universal login system that linked to your social security number) but things worked i because he had a strong personality.
