[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great, another Republican businessman with no experience in government - didn't we learn from our last mistake?

And for those who think this makes him somehow better than an experienced politician, it doesn't. The functions of government and the politics behind it require an experienced hand to navigate; government doesn't operate like a corporation, nor should it.[/quote]

While this is all true, it starts to fall on deaf ears when you get "experienced" duds like Biden in. The reason a Reality TV star like Trump and a longtime DC outsider, non-entity like Sanders surged in 2016 is because people got fed up with what "experience" was serving up for them.[/quote]

DP. I'm way more likely to vote for one of these "outsiders" than most of DCUM, but when people start telling me that the outsider candidates are Ivy League education millionaires and billionaires, it sets off /my bullshit meter. [/quote]

I actually agree with you on this, but I also view it as an almost structural impediment in and indictment of our political system. Tough to see a truly grassroots candidate rise to that level and get enough traction to be on a debate stage without being similarly "credentialed". [b]Yang barely scraped it, but he also fits the same profile. [/b]There is just way too much money in politics.[/quote]

I think Yang is very precisely the analog to Ramaswamy here. Young, rich, no experience in government, and with a signature proposal that's never going to happen but grabs attention. [/quote]

What's Vivek's signature proposal? The voting thing? Or affirmative action?[/quote]

The forced birth thing? [/quote]

What about it? Is he materially different that other Republicans on this to the point that it would be a defining proposal of his campaign?

Anyway, PP already clarified what proposal they were talking about.[/quote]

Of course it is a defining proposal.  Abortion is one of the very top issues of the 2024 race.[/quote]

That's not what PP was talking about. The question has been answered. You can have a seat.[/quote]
