    I think “openly not wanting to be president” is actually a bad quality for a future president, though I would vote for AOC over Kamala any day, based on their tiny policy differences. Idk how AOC feels about FRAC mining tho

      The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.

      To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.

      To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.

      ― Douglas Adams

      The exception that proves the rule is people who begrudgingly accept the responsibility out of the greater good.
