Good organizational leadership and not flashy is exactly what we need rn. I only wish we weren't at risk of it ending so soon
I strongly disagree. A little inspirational leadership would go a long way to calming my nerves about a potential second Trump administration. Biden is incapable of winning a mandate for a second term, and we are all lucky that Trump seems capable of losing anyways.
It's easy enough for some voters to be happy with a competent administration. But, for a lot of Americans, that looks like an extremely privileged point of view.
That's older politics. Speeches made the difference. Now is the dis track and highlights. The tweets and the memes. Sad but true.
I said "leadership". Flowery speeches and clever memes are fine, but what's his vision, and how do we get there? At best, he offers minor tweaks to a system that's starting to implode.
Speeches were the memes back in the day. "Ask not" and "tear down this wall" and "read my lips" and so on.
Oh they definitely were memed. But I don't think speeches resonate as they once did. I personally find people reference memes and jokes more than policy and facts. Maybe it's who I work with.
