I would literally sacrifice myself at an altar to elect a technicrat to power that follows the data and mirrors effective global policy to maximize the long term happiness of the citizenry.
We’d Rather elect Beavis(Trump) though than Sheldon Cooper, and that means to a degree, this mass suffering is self-inflicted.
Expertise, including the ability to defer to specialized expertise you lack, to me, is the measuring stick by which a leader ought to be judged. By this metric in my lifetime, Obama got a D and everyone else failed entirely, because they start from what do my “wealthy donors and the largest capital holders want” and work backwards from there on economic policy. Those fuckers can fend for themselves.
