Carter was more than a good guy, he tried to do good things, for good motivations, he tried to conscientiously fulfill his role for his constituents. We would all be much better off if we had followed President Carter four more years. But he wasn’t photogenic, wasn’t a great talker
Reagan was nicknamed “the Great Communicator” because he was photogenic and great at talking, influencing, redirecting. He made us want to follow him. We all know how that turned out.
It’s a mismatch of expectations: why do elect based on ability to talk, but then complain about the initiatives and actions? Are we getting stuck with exactly what we deserve? We’re doing it again: Trump is a talker who riles people up, gets them agitated to follow him regardless of the disaster they’re following him into. In 2016, the biggest complaint of Clinton was she was boring. I didn’t like her either but she would have been effective, she would have started initiatives all us Lemmings would whole-heartedly agree with. She would have made the country, even the world, a better place. So why do we vote on personality and talk if we want specific action and direction
