 I wish we (and the press) would stop referring to every senator, mayor, president, etc. as a “our leaders” and call these chucklefucks what they are — our employees.

I would also accept “elected officials” if they disclaim that they are generally elected by being the less offensive of generally two options, if some races even offer that many.

But “leader” is such bullshit.
