Saying Vance is personable kind of confuses me. Its like saying Trump is charismatic. No!? But I can see Vance chilling at a cookout while Trump is hiding in his office like the beginning of the Godfather.
charisma /kÉ-rÄzā²mÉ/ noun A rare personal quality attributed to leaders who arouse fervent popular devotion and enthusiasm.
Trump absolutely has charisma. Outside of being a lying narcissist, its literally his defining trait.
And vance, in comparison to trump, is much more personable. That was on display. Vance is still a weasely amoral couch fucker, but if i was absolutely forced to be in a room with one or the other, i would pick vance over trump every time.
I appreciate the extra clarification on pronunciation, but charisma also means likeable and having a magnetic personality, not just being a wannabe despotic populist leader. Vance has a chance at the former until he starts talking.
Dude, its called context. The usage implied was very clear.
And my bad, i guess i left out the little ā1ā at the start that says my definition was the primary usage to support my argument, but whateverā¦ it seemed obvious.
Despite that, even by your narrower definition, trump still has charisma. just not the kind that works on you. People can be likable and have a magnetic personality and whatever else, and you can still despise them. They would still be called charismatic. The people waving his signs, attending his rallys, and wearing his red hats would certainly say he is likable and has a magnetic personality. Are they wrong? No. The sheer number of his followers prove he has charisma. Clap yourself on the back for not falling for that particular style of charisma if you want, but dont deny it exists.
Cool. Fuck the nazis.
