Instead of relying on charisma, why not have Presidents based on intelligence and knowledge? Someone who has a masters or professional degrees, has written papers and books, and is just a really knowledgeable guy? Rather than, um, someone who's not.
Because democracy is not about who’s the greatest and wisest, it’s about who’s the most popular and is the best at bullshitting people, and since people are educated by public schools funded by gubamint, for the most part, they think it’s really great and that it’s a duty to vote and encourage their shitty system, the fact that public school is inefficient helps: they can’t question elections, or candidates, they just go and vote like the retards they are.
