Passage Summary: The author thinks we shouldn't complain about bad leaders because our system put them there; we should focus on fixing the system instead.

Conclusion: Focusing on the personal flaws of political leaders is a pointless distraction.

Reasoning: The real issue is how democratic institutions and procedures allow flawed individuals to reach power in the first place.

Analysis: The argument creates a false choice between looking at the system and looking at the individuals. For the conclusion to hold, the author must assume that studying individual flaws provides no insight into the systemic problems. Look for an answer that bridges this gap, perhaps by suggesting that focusing on individuals does nothing to help us understand or improve the underlying political procedures.
