it’s just unrealistic. every great president we have ever had was a politician. blaming everything on politicians is just incredibly simplistic, and, if I may say, missing the point.
Indeed. We generally get the politicians we deserve.
There are politicians and there are politicians...in the past most had accomplishments in military, business, career before running for office. Voters years ago wanted to see accomplishments before they would elect someone. Now many begin as politicians and have never done anything else.
