I mean, he’s inhabiting the powerful position that the two parties built!
Doesn’t help that we’ve had God Emperors like FDR.
The American president has also been mythologized. They’re calling all the shots and doing whatever. Unfortunately that means they can trample over the Constitution and only the opposing party usually cares.
- mhh__ 6y ago> only the opposing party usually cares. The republicans didn't even ratify any policies at the RNC this year. Obviously you have to support your guy, but if I said to you a majority / near-majority of the speakers at the convention were family and friends of the President would you think of a some backward state or the most powerful democracy in the world.
- gnusty_gnurc 6y agoI actually don't care that much about the parties acting like they're not just clubs with arbitrary rules - they are and always have been. But yea the major party duopoly is gross and has been for a while now. The dynastic families are insufferable.
