Well, that's a whole different topic - but I agree. For starters, our political process attracts the wrong kind of personality. It almost demands narcissists and the overly ambitious. If you're smart, you do NOT run for President. Who in their right mind wants to go through that? We have failed w/ the process.
Beyond that, and people hate it when I say this - elections simply don't work, at least at the Presidential level. Most Americans - myself included - do not understand all of the nuances of foreign policy, economics, education, the environment, et al. One of our biggest considerations when casting a vote is "who would you rather have a beer with?" Do we really expect to get the best person who can handle a pandemic, or other major crisis?
It's all a fail. We need to go back & re-think this whole thing.
