Experience and Perception of Political Leaders

The discussion emphasizes the idea that political experience often resets each year, suggesting that despite long tenures, politicians like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris may not display continuous growth or advancement in competency. This perspective was humorously noted through a quip about Biden's experience being meaningless if it doesn’t translate into effective leadership. A similar sentiment is echoed regarding Harris, as observers question her performance in roles leading up to her current candidacy, suggesting her history may not guarantee her effectiveness as a presidential candidate. This raises critical scrutiny of the political establishment's tendency to prioritize perception over substance, especially when justifying leadership choices.
