We need political leaders who genuinely oppose the divisive tactics of political consultants and pollsters, similar to how Obama ran as a reformer.

To shake up a complacent system, we need a bit of intensity, some rawness, and even a touch of rudeness to break through the polite bureaucracy that can hide serious issues.

The need for a political identity that values efficient bureaucracies while reforming institutions is crucial for addressing contemporary challenges.

The next successful political leader will need to synthesize the lessons of the current political landscape while addressing the discontent with platforms like Twitter.

There are more everyday people than those in power, and we need to figure out how to leverage that for positive change.
