It is the party that 'decides'... yet many voters seem to believe that they are voting for a 'person.' There's something disharmonious about that belief.
"L'État, c'est moi" -- Louis XIV
"Je suis l'État" -- George W. Bush
"Je suis un beignet?" -- Joseph Biden
"Thank you for asking me about the economy. Here is an bizarre unrelated anecdotic about France." -- Kamala Harris
"Cheese-eating surrender monkeys!" -- Donald Trump
Edit to add: Just being silly. But that's a good point. I've actually heard Democrats say, for example, that President Biden is the leader of their party. Haha. How detached from reality do you have to be to believe that? It's like believing that Trump is a political outsider. Probably Bob down in numbers is running the whole show. Oh well, we'll never know, and perhaps be happier for it.
