Discussion: A Zelenskyy of Our Own
Searching for a leader

President Zelenskyy's leadership skills are a feature of his personality, not his former career. Being a comedian or TV star should not be the main criteria for getting into politics.

Standing up to a tyrant - who is willing to impose pain as leverage to compel loyalty or acquiescence - is hard. You can convince yourself that yielding stops the pain and brings you back to "normal".
But there is no "normal". Submission emboldens the tyrant. The threat grows.

Those Senate "Democrats" have only shown that the authorities can weaponize food benefits whenever they want.
In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."
The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.
And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

At the Mariyinskyi Palace in Kyiv, electricity cut out twice during President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's interview with a Guardian journalist. The video shows the power outage, with the journalist exclaiming, "Oh, hello, electricity is gone?" before the lights quickly returned. They went out again later.

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,
