Because Leslie Knope is nice without losing a fucking shred of her agency. Leslie Knope is so nice, she is going to throw you the best goddamn birthday party you have ever had. Leslie Knope is nice and she is going to turn the pit next door into a park. Leslie Knope is nice so she's not going to let her city's budget crises stop her from throwing a children's concert. Leslie Knope has been very civil... but she will waterboard you.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
I think one of my very favorite moments on the show is when Ben goes to the guy and asks him a favor (why do I think it was the police chief? I can't remember the exact circumstances at the moment, which means I'll need to rewatch the episode tonight) and the guy's like, "I'm going to do it, but not for you. I'm going to do it because Leslie is the nicest person ever and she helps people and I will always help her out if she needs it." Because it just shows why people love her. And also why she should be president.
Leslie's niceness is a force and it's the genuine heart of the show.
