Since when has a politician known when to quit?
George Washington?
Adams was his puppet, he was a shadow leader until he bleed to death in a dark ritual to extend his life gone wrong
He did serve for two terms. Back then, that was the most someone could do. The idea he could've been a monarch if he wished isn't exactly accurate given the combination of public pressure, the way other founding fathers weighed in, and the fact that America's then-neighboring allies the Haudenosaunee civilization was already a democracy superior to even the ancient Greeks.
Source?
I meant in terms of doing anything afterwards such as tangibly commentate.
"The ancient Greeks" those didn't exactly have very good democracies.
I meant that with the perspective of someone in mind who lived back then and would've thought the Greeks were the bee's knees. If you lived back then and thought someone was doing better than the Greeks, you would feel humbled because the prevailing idea was that the Greeks accomplished a lot of things that they didn't actually accomplish.
Clinton hasn't run since she "lost" to Trump.
Clinton is still active in other areas though and still brings it up like she is owed.
Are you saying Clinton writes opinion pieces under the pseudonym John Pavlovitz?
Also, are you saying that politicians should just sit down and die when they don't win something? I mean, based on your rhetoric, you seem like the exact kind of person that thinks all politicians should just die, so I wouldn't be surprised.
No, I'm saying that with great power comes great responsibility and that there are those who quit because their contributions have been fully extracted from them and there are those who are drawn to the position like a mouse to cheese which manifests in what I describe, politicians with a drive that isn't synchronized with how much they bring to the table, because that wouldn't make things so consistent. Why else do you think celebrities like Donald Trump and Kanye West are running for president? Even after Hillary Clinton dropped out, although the article isn't hers, the gist is a common theme in her circle.
