I don’t get the low energy complaint. Do you want someone hyper in office?

One note I'd like to make on it is that politics are rapidly becoming more involved and at the forefront of our daily lives with more and more topics becoming political. It's rapidly becoming an ever more consuming theater.

People om the right often buy into the theater and machismo and other entertainment factors which increases turnout. Culture wars are entirely theatrical platforms made to whip viewers into frenzies over nonexistent issues.

On the left side of things, more of the politicians seem to be pretty mellow low key personality moderates. This would have been fine years ago but they're being drowned out by the endless circus on the right as they're not in the news throwing haymakers and trying to actually whip voters to the cause.

McKee is largely an empty suit and while he may not be great or terrible, doesn't do or act in a way that inspires much confidence. I think expecting every leader to be some high energy cult of personality is unrealistic and toxic in the long term, but Democrats need more politicians like John Fetterman from PA or even Gavin Newsom of CA that are at least showing a willingness to throw hands, politically, in the current climate where civil rights and even democracy are becoming more at risk.

Sort of. Effecting change as an executive is hard. You need to be able to get people on board with your plans.

I agree but I’ve had great leaders that are extremely mellow at large companies I’ve worked for, so I don’t get the whole “low energy” thing. I’m not saying I love McKee or think he has a quiet type of confidence but low energy just seems like a Trumpian buzzword to attack someone who isn’t hyper aggressive.

So let's elect a volatile corporate shill. Sounds like a winner.

Ashley Kalus was bought and paid for long before she entered politics. She's a big mouth cuckoo bird. Is that clear enough?

What the fuck does that have to do with having high energy being a good leadership trait?
