Charismatic Politics
Category: POLITICS
When I grew up you could walk into a voting booth and just swing a single lever to vote the entire party line.  Now, instead, we have entered what I call the Era of Charismatic Politics, where personalities determine elections, rather than parties.  This changes the landscape, and helps us understand what is to come.
