When I look at our politics across the board, the country appears to be afflicted with a rag tag mob of populist noise makers lacking the prerequisites of serious and effective leadership. Yes, relevant experience and the willingness to seek out and utilise advice intelligently, and with an ability to achieve and implement outcomes through negotiation and fostering participation with others of demonstrated good character. The social media culture panders to simplistic, emotionally charged talking points to sway voters who can carry the can for much of this, comforted in their biases, contentedly ignorant. New Yorkers will I think pick a more hard nosed and capable person over a populist full of promises. Trick is to have someone of such ability and character in the ranks of the contenders. I admit to being increasingly pessimistic in recent times, but remind myself that isn't very useful.
