I asked you to point out her achievements and you just glazed her further on the basis that "you can't possibly fail upwards to a high level leadership position" when a lot of people in recently history have, and in her position it's not even that hard to do when business interests use their money and influence to guarantee that their preferred puppet sorry I meant candidate gets there, especially that the process for the position she's in is appointed by committee selection and not by direct election by the people.

And maybe some of the media portray her as incompetent because it's their job to investigate politics and they notice more of her fuckups than you do, especially given your lack of positive examples for her.

my point is that calling someone a "Leyen is a corrupt, lobby friendly politician" while putting a relative low bar of "not evil" on here moral standard and that she isn't completely incompetent is not glazing. I have no intend to discuss any detailed politics on HN.
