is there some sort of unit of measure to express doubt in a politician ?
could that be called a “fetterman” ? i’m at about 1.25 fettermans with platner
We need separate meters for doubt (predictive) and disappointment (realized). Fetterman has done a bad job, but platner hasn’t made any votes yet.
It’s just reverse psychology at work:
If team A & B don’t want player [pretending] to be C, they must be good!
It worked for Regan, Clinton, heck, even Abraham Lincoln.
Surely it can’t be because people have listened to what the man has actually said. Or are judging him by his actions. All that is unknowable if you only pay attention to the mass medias manufactured narrative.
To be clear these sort of positions of power shouldn’t exist in the first place, and no human being is fit for them. The reason people like plattner isn’t psychology reverse or otherwise. It’s honesty and a willingness to be genuine and engage with people. Something pretty much all politicians are failing at these days.
A lot of people listened and judged Trump as a [pretending] renegade player during the 2014 campaign. He platformed on “honesty and a willingness to be genuine and engage with people. Something pretty much all politicians are failing at these days.” Fetterman, same MO. Do you not see how Americans adore being psyoped into renegade prop?
Trump published books on his lying long before he ever won office. And the media unforced, breathlessly hungrily gave him all the air time they could. Letting him lie to everyone. Whereas with Platner, the media is deluging and covering him in wildly biased and misrepresenting stories trying to attack him. Even the New York Times was called out by their sources.
And like Fetterman, no books was written about him, and his Zionist ties. The media gave him “deluging and covering him in wildly biased and misrepresenting stories trying to attack him. Even the New York Times was called out by their sources.”
