    Similar to what the other comrade said; There is no expectation anymore that the people in power should have to govern or to meaningfully improve your life.

    If that’s the case, then the only thing you are voting for is which person you’re going to see on the TV for the next 4 years.

    This is the main reason why the cheeto won over Hilary. Would you rather watch the funny orange man who says stupid shit or the mean grandma who scolds you for not eating your veggies?

    This is also why I think that Kamala will win.

      I remember the same thing with Sarah Palin. We’ll see how far this takes Kamala because Aoc would be an easy victory if looks was all it took.

      But you’re right that there is a pattern in which the more attractive candidate wins and Trump isn’t exactly getting any younger. You’ll notice that all the two term Dem candidates since the debut of TV were notably more attractive than their opposition. JFK would have probably won two terms with his looks and charm alone.
