The world could be a nice place if we held our leaders responsible for their sociopathic tendencies.

Or if we didn’t vote for sociopathic leaders to begin with

I'm trying to be positive as much as possible, but unfortunately only the sociopathic rise to power. We just need to choose the least mad of them all.

Sociopathic tendencies are definitely a trait found in most leaders in power, but there are still plenty empathetic humanitarian leaders throughout history. Ghandi, Nelson Mandela, Jimmy Carter, JFK, Eisenhower, etc. I feel part of the issue is Strong Man Syndrome, where most people are attracted to leaders who they think are "strong men" when in reality, they're sociopaths who lean towards authoritarianism. Whereas, an empathetic leader is actually the stronger man and better leader.
