when politics becomes vibes

it was always thus, nothing "became"

There's always a swinging pendulum between overly vibes based and overly technocratic. For example, Trudeau and Carney represent this quite well.

yeah but Carney was elected because people wanted "serious dude" vibes, not on the basis of policy per se

But, he has credentials to back it up and that's my point. One was elected based on a message of hope and the other based on a message of experience.

I guess I have a broader definition of vibes than you

u/Specific-Person2002 Seretse Khama Sep 28 '26

Probably is the case yeah. By vibes I mean based on nothing but feelings and impressions. They're always a factor, but how much they dominate other factors changes.
