    People acting as if Trump or Biden would run the show.

    So in other words, you think the president should be a puppet? Because that is the implication of responding to “dude is unfit for the office” with “well he is not running it anyways, he’s just the face.”

    I don’t know of a single country run by a puppet that was run well. What you get instead is all the worst people to take advantage to put their personal benefit in, since it’s not their face associated with it.

    Also internationally it is very very very bad to be run by a puppet. Nobody will take the puppet serious and everyone will again seek to put their own interests in. We already see that with Israel playing Biden like a fiddle.

      No, I think their point is that most of the “work” goes to the cabinet - you don’t have the president out there doing the legwork for everything.
