    Nah that's an unfair comparison. Don't get me wrong, Yang is horrible and represents a new type of technological capitalism bullshit, but he's not a known soulless evil ghoul like GWB. I mean I'm Iraqi lol, I know a war criminal when I see one

      Not a 1:1 comparison. But charisma and “good hearts” should have little to no role in deciding whether someone is a politician worth supporting.

      The NYC race sucks though there aren’t really any good options.

        You're totally right, but in the complete absence of any alternative, you're basically left with "a good heart, maybe" as the only relevant differentiator (if you're lucky lol)
