I never understood what it meant to be a Democrat or Republican. I'm fully American and agree on some issues presented by both - but not all of them. So why do I have to pick a side? Nobody can say they agree with every single issue proposed by any team unless they lack the ability to think for themselves. To me, both parties are the same. A method to distract and divide a nation from using common sense and logic. I would want a leader to represent every fraction of the country as one united SUM. To make the country stronger, not weaker. One thing I know for certain, is to never choose a leader who needs their speeches written for them. If they cannot communicate to the public directly with their own heart, then they are not a true leader.Suzy Kassem
About This Quote
People who do not understand the idea of a true leader. What they mean is that the leaders we have now are selected through some method such as a vote. The leader then gives an impassioned speech and the crowd applauds just because they had to get up and go to church or something. That’s never good enough for me. I want a leader who can speak with their heart and be able to relate with them directly.
