14. Future Dem president is going to need a massive team of experts to work on our broken govt

The president isn’t going to be able to fix any of that shit - they won’t have the necessary expertise to tackle HHS, DOJ, the military, Treasury, Dept of State etc.

By necessity EVERYTHING is going to have to be delegated to teams of experienced professionals.

Future Dem president will need to be the country’s frontman on the order of Zelensky in order to rebuild any semblance of a relationship internationally. We’re going to need a trustworthy person who’s massively talented at cultivating trust.

That’s probably not a politician
