the country's most talented & intelligent people and its most effective operators want nothing to do with elected office. the best way for a movement to conduct its politics is to find charismatic and convincing actors to govern on its behalf rather than leave it to the kind of doofuses who are interested in pursuing politics on their own after mediocre careers in student government and model un.
shitlibs are doing this semi-consciously right now and aoc was groomed in precisely this way, just to win elections by being snarky and sexy. but they're also falling into it by accident because they're now all theater kids by nature and it's their own instinct that governing = performing. viz mamdani and al sayed.
lol at AOC being "snarky and sexy". she's like the most asexual forcememed "hot chick" ever.
dems pulled off forcememing Obama as a black from Chicago even though he's actually a gay white faggot from the PNW. With AOC they tried the same forcememing her as a spicy hot latina bartender from queens even though she's actually a asexual frigid white bitch from new england. The AOC thing they're still trying but everyone sees it for what it is.

Mark Carney was hockey captain at Harvard then got a PhD at Oxford, senior managing director at Goldman Sachs and Brookfield and headed two different G7 central banks before becoming prime minister of Canada. Why does the American system not attract similarly high-caliber people to lead this country?

1. partially besides the point but not entirely, he was a fucking backup goalie, not a captain, and going to oxford for a phd in econ means you couldn't get into a top 15-20 american program, its department is not as strong and its program is structured entirely differently, the mphil stage is a mill for unremarkable masters students and you have to pay your way. an american phd program is highly selective from the start and and funds you the whole way through. not to be pedantic but he's not a genius nobel winner who played a lil college ball, he made his name as yet another government servant like most other politicians.
2. that said he's probably the smartest head of government around today but he follows performative doofus / nepo baby justin trudeau who followed college dropout stephen harper who followed fraudster paul martin. think about every major elected official across the world in our lifetimes, you can count the genuinely intellectually impressive ones on one hand. and if your only metric is fake and gay elite credentials then the US has obama to match nerd in chief carney.

i am being as generous as possible to the above poster who is clearly deeply moved by the superficial image of an effete man of letters doing academic minstrel shows before half-asleep college students. if we were going strictly by credentials then we could throw in bush and clinton and bush but this is really about the above poster fetishizing a hollow aesthetic which is why he instinctively overestimated carney's bona fides.

only thing hollywood loves more than black presidents are black geniuses/tech nerds. and nazis. there are literally more actors who plays nazis than actual nazis.

Attended a Colin Powell college graduation speech years ago. It was by far the shittiest and most boring out of the several I’ve been to. Fucking John Legend had more to say than him.
the country literally went from GWB and 9/11 "muslim terror" to electing a guy president named "barack hussein obama" in seven years, lmao, even if he was nominally christian he was basically a barely closeted muslim homosexual married to a gorilla male

Another thing about these types is that even after they lost an initial race, there was a huge wave of fake momentum from the media that carried them to victory. It was like the early loss didn't even matter.
-Obama lost a race for Congress in 2000, media/powers that be seemed to clear the field for him in his Senate run in 2004
-Booker lost his race for mayor, documentary got made, he ran again and it was marketed as a foregone conclusion that he would win
-Jindal lost the race for governor and almost immediately GOP found a seat in Congress for him

Jindal and Nimarata was aberrations, its still lolzy they won in southern States with turd backgrounds.
With the Dems I have a theory they actually DONT want another Obama, the old guard is all rich kikes and birdshit nepotists, they dont want niggas and turdskins and shit taking over the party and beaners as well. They know that wld actually be natural if they just followed the demographics of the party, birdshits shld have no power in such a nigga party
So thats why u havent seen another Obama, even look at CA gov race and they cant get a furking beaner in there, cant fking groom a beaner in a state thats 40% wetback. Or at least get an AZN. This has to be on purpose. EDIT: actually furk this since Beaner Becerra prob will win but he wasnt promoted from start, he got lucky the field was so shit
And look at Mamdani, the Abdul terrorist in MI, these guys werent the establishment choices. Even AOC wasnt
