    what exactly do you think campaigning for an elected office is? it’s not based on merit or experience, it’s based on convincing other people that “I’m the best choice”. why else do you think politicians need to advertise how awesome they are?

    if getting elected was based on actual merit then the populace would just elect the most qualified person… but that’s not how it works.

      Again, not sure how you expect to be taken seriously here.

        it’s ok, I’ve disregarded your opinion in its entirety (not that it was verbose or anything).

          Another sound argument. You’re nailing it.
