Comment on Do people really believe politicians are salesmen?

It would be great if politicians could all be philosophers writing political theory.

But that’s not what gets the votes. In a democracy, the most important skill of a politicians is being able to sell their ideas.

There’s a reason populism is popular. Because people don’t read theory, people read posts on X.
