    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)
