Comment on Why do seemingly all politicians (and no one else) do that hand gesture when they talk, the one where it looks like they're holding an invisible fishing rod?

  Only to people who are actually paying attention to a lot of politicians and likely looking exactly this up.

  For the majority of the public? it is just “good public speaking”.

    I miss Obama and other politicians who could actually speak.

      Yeah.

      Although I recently heard him on Marc Maron’s podcast, and was rather disappointed.

      He’s still far, far more lucid than most other politicians, but he came off as wildly out of touch, which I didn’t recall him being 10 years ago.

      Oh well, that’s the match of time for you.

        Well, the man’s retired so he can be I suppose? When (if?) I’m able to retire, I plan on being as out of touch as possible :D

      And plenty of people use chatgpt instead of google. Not really sure what point you think you are making but…

        Your statement could be true about anything depending on the perspective so I wasn’t sure what point you were trying to make

  Still, maybe if Zucc did it people would actually find him cool.

  (“Cool” as in, like an average politician, which is still way cooler than he is now.)
