What does this sentence mean? "Candidates are selected on the basis of their strength, not the strength they should justly have". I might suggest candidates are selected on the basis of their perceived strengths." And what are the strengths they should justly have? I'm unclear what that means altogether. Politicians in truth are never judged by anything they should justly have, were they judged so no one would ever be elected to an office. They are selected on the basis of what party one belongs, name recognition, the advertised projection of what strengths the politician might have, but more commonly on what failings the other candidate, and whether or not the last month before the election has made them positively or negatively about a candidate,
Editorialists may tell us what strengths politicians should have in their opinion, but at least in America editorialists are not read or seldom viewed , although if the can be outrageously negative or positive commentators might be viewed for their entertainment appeal might be persuasive by constant reiteration.
No matter what editorialists may think of their own superior opinion of the strengths a candidate should have, people are more influenced by their drinking buddies that any pundits.
And people never care about the issues a politician supports even they do care about the issues. If I tell my brother-in-law, my mother or by old buddies what so and so may send them links, they don't care to have their notions clarified. I live in a family of Trump supporters who tell me Trump did not say he was going to put illegal immigrants in camps even though they were at a rally where he did say it.All they heard was he's going to give them better jobs and a better lives; and the same goes for my mostly democratic friends who think Trump was repetitive and senile and Biden was strong and truthful.
It is only the pundits and politicians who found Biden's performance wanting?
Do you know any people or only "intellectuals" who might try to consider what strengths a candidate should justly have?'
