It's funny he talks about elected leaders like he's a king or something. Almost like he was anointed, appointed, or otherwise installed more than "elected."   Gotta move outta the passive/hypothetical voice and start speaking in a moar ACTIVE/DECLARATIVE tone: It's unironic how he talks about elected leaders like he's a king or something, seeing as how he was anointed, appointed & otherwise installed rather than actually "elected."
