Whomst*

That is Duma Boko. The President of Botswana.

He is socially and economically progressive, and is the first President in Botswana not from the center right BDP liberation party.

Economically progressive in what sense?

Like South America progressive? Or Pete Buttigieg progressive?

u/Top_Lime1820 Manmohan Singh 3d ago

Not South America progressive. He respects property rights and budgets.

More like a European SocDem who just got handed a Parliamentary majority because of FPTP and is a little bit populist on the welfare promises but still hires a wonk to run the Treasury

At first I thought he was the President from the show 24, and a guy from allstate commercials.
