To be fair, I feel like almost everyone I’ve ever met would be too emotional to be president.

We failed pretty horrifically at screening the bullshit out though. Like, god damn.

The greatest illusion of humanity is that reason is a default state.

We are hormonal meat beasts that require decades to tame to any productive end and even still we are all literally one phone call away from losing our shit completely.

It's funny because just last week I had a work call with middle management were we ended up screaming at each other.

There’s no way I can handle a phone call of any kind. Honestly even a mildly annoying Teams message would probably be enough to send me off the deep end.

Yeah this is why facts and evidence aren't that persuasive. We're all emotional first. All of us

Eh, Patil of India was allegedly pretty corrupt, using government money to build a retirement home among other things. Park Geun-Hye (S. Korea) was jailed for corruption. We’ve had corrupt female corporate heads in the US, like Elizabeth Holmes. I’m not trying to butwhatabout at all, just that people in power are susceptible to corruption and fuckery regardless of being a woman or man. Per-capita, women are probably better, they’ve often had to work harder than men to reach higher office and don’t want to give anyone more fuel to muckrake on them.
