I think it would be good if every citizen in a democracy had at the forefront of their mind that elected officials are our *employees*. We pay their salaries. We grant them – temporarily – powers they exercise on our behalf.
An employee with a track record of telling unfunny jokes with material consequences that require the jokes to be walked back is wasting our money. They should be on an Employee Improvement Plan. https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:4ap35rus77cg3lzju2v43jxn/post/3mhnv4poles2y
