Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.

Being president is hard because anything you do can have huge repercussions. Say the wrong sentence and you can fuck up the relationship with a whole country. Wish the job was given to 40 something people instead of people with the cognitive power of a toddler.
They'll never let another Jimmy Carter happen.
I would be infinitely better and I would take the job.
I just don't have the correct nationality or corporate backing (I would jail all the corporation people instantly)
This is Boomer humor

Basically, pick the establishment candidate that will protect what they have, and they have ...A LOT!!!
That's actually sad. Not just the sports competition between the bad and the worse you call elections, but also the part where you're so invested in team rivalry that you don't see the whole problem.
The correct metaphor would be a one-piece puzzle with one side being a shit emoji, and the other one being a shit emoji, but they're of different size and color.
