This BTW is how you involve in the story the reality of what the voters think, which is an important portion of election coverage, while still upholding your basic journalistic responsibility to communicate to people what’s actually going on.

    I guess I was never really clear why we need a president in the first place and the bullshit power centralization it’s grown over time to include beyond civilian leadership of the military and veto power when Congress is useless at restraining the executive under checks and balances for example executive orders. If you want a public figurehead pick someone in the Senate most of them barely work anyways. Crisis management should be it’s own department not just up to whoever won the last popularity contest.
