Why Do We Vote for People Who Don't Always Know What They're Doing?

Voting is like choosing a team captain. Sometimes the person you pick looks smart and confident, but they might not always make the best choices for the whole team. That's why we vote, because we believe that even if someone doesn't know exactly what to do, they can still help us all work together better.
