Modi? You said, “Like Trump, all Modi had to do to get popular approval after his election was to go and DO the things that the public was paying for and not getting, like waste water treatment in rural communities.”
I would also add that like Trump, the media assisted his rise. Like Trump he wants adoration but refuses to go before the public and present his policies. Like Trump he is running on dividing his country between the Hindus and Muslims. Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party is a crumbling party, as recently reported, “(BJP) lost its national majority after suffering major losses in key states, marking a dramatic shift in a political landscape it has dominated for the past decade.”
Do you understand that I gave no endorsement to Modi? Why then do you think you have countered my point by shading Modi? India's foreign policy is "India is everyone's friend" and have a standing offer to negotiate peace in the Ukraine/Russia conflict. They have a S&P growth rate pegged at 7%. It's also suspicious that you did anything but a cursory google on Modi if you think that with 79% Hindu electorate significantly is divided from the 19% Muslim population is the reason for political divide, the reasons are more complex but include attempts to reduce the rights of Muslims in India. That being the case, in a democracy every leader is only the leader for a time. If Modi's time is up in the August elections, then his time is up. If not in 2024 then perhaps next election, that doesn't indicate something is wrong, it's the nature of Democracy.
I'd give you another example but you apparently imagine I have told you that I think of Modi as the end all and be all of political leaders. You have completely missed my point. What you might have is a chance to see Trump perform that mysterious trick of closing the borders and turning on the oil spigots again. You had to have watched Biden turn the spigots off and open the borders, right? I mean it would be hard to debate you if you don't watch ALL the news. So if you all don't want to encourage a strong man movement, produce leaders who govern with some sense and not these cartoons who bear an uncanny similarity to the leaders in Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged". They are worthless. The people running our foreign policy, like Blinken, no, I won't tell you. Why not look up his track record on foreign policy? I'll give you a clue, it starts with a capital I. Why are these people like Fauci, like Blinken who have such egregious professional failures that a reasonable man would assume their careers would have been over, being allowed to govern this country with more of the same incompetence? And you know where the deeper damage lies? You have a man like Goldman, who is a party loyalist and defends the party to the end, but the crap he is saddled with and has to defend, I doubt that he, himself would have ever created these messes, he's too smart and probably has control over his appetites, but he's mired in defending this garbage when he just might have been a statesman if he had been given a chance. We all know that Biden isn't the guy formulating the next move but it's on his watch that Blinken was just fine letting Victoria Nuland putting the finishing touches on her pet project of starting a war in the Ukraine. That is incompetence. Or do you deny that happened?
I think you are missing the point of my post. I presented Modi as a perfect example of how and why a populist comes to power. They are also called "a Strong Man". Nobody that supports a candidate like Biden has any room to criticize any other candidate. I'd vote for RFK if he can get on the ballot. I'd at least listen to Bernie because I consider him a honest broker for ideas I don't agree with. Why don't you support a candidate in your party that has a modicum of a statesman about him?

Such bullshit magga. Such bullshit.
You are not part of this conversation, so you don't need to react just because it's more than you comprehend.
