I saw this documentary about Mitt Romney advertised on Netflix yesterday and wondered who values their time little enough to watch something so outdated and irrelevant. Apparently, such people do exist.
It would have never occurred to me to sit through two hours of footage about John Kerry (whom I supported) and his boring memories about his father a year after he lost the presidential election. The guy had to serve a purpose, failed to fulfill it, so let’s move on.
Kerry and Romney are alike in that they both are very uncharismatic, both move like they have swallowed a baseball bat, both tried to run against a charismatic and widely supported incumbent, both lost.
It is very bizarre to me how people attach to politicians and develop an emotional fixation on them. A politician is like a plumber or a car mechanic: a professional who us supposed to perform a service. If that service is not performed we don’t rhapsodize the professional who failed to do the job for years to come.

The focus on personalities reveals a complete non-understanding of politics. It can be fun to do, but one shouldn’t take it further than that, because politicians are really not in fact “dumb” or betraying you. They are working within a system, with a set agenda that they often have to compromise with.
