Though the mainstream Democrats criticized vociferously the George W. Bush-era republican proclivity for saying that Bush was someone they’d want to “have a beer with,” the Dems who support both Obama and Clinton have the same cult of personality I’ve noticed about both of them.

For instance, they constantly share photos of Obama (the one called “At least this cool kid”) in particular doing something “cool” or looking suave. Or less commonly but also fairly often it’s snaps of Clinton looking competent, or that otherwise aver her competence in some way.

I don’t want to have a beer with my president. I don’t want them to look cool, suave or even competent. I don’t give a crap how he or she looks.

What I want is that my president not be a granny-starvin’ neoliberal, brown-people-bombing warmongering World War III apocalypse starter.

Dems are a bit better than Republicans. A bit. But that’s just not saying much these days.
