[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great! The more winning candidates who have no experience in how government operates, the better! Let's get back to the days of citizen politicians. It can't be that difficult to serve in public office, right?[/quote]

I don't know - ask AOC.[/quote]

+1. You can't have it both ways - Durr is unfit to hold office because he was a truck driver, yet AOC is not unfit to hold office even though she was a bartender. I don't have a problem with either.[/quote]
You don’t have a problem with Durr’s bigotry?  :shock: [/quote]

Total non sequitur. Regardless, I do have a problem with his bigotry, but I fail to see how that has anything to with his background, which is what people on here have primarily criticized him for.[/quote]
It’s not remotely a non sequitur, nor is his lack of experience what people on this thread have primarily criticized him for. One post criticized him for that. I don’t love that, but people have to start somewhere and it’s not like he’s someone running for the big office but who will be or was totally in over their head (W, Trump, the Rock keeps threatening to…).

His bigotry, about which he appears to have been out and proud, is an enormous disqualification. No one with that level of bigotry belongs in government. In 2021 it is unforgivable to be quoting right wing memes about other cultures and groups. [/quote]

I’m not defending his comments/bigotry. I’m pointing out that I provided a valid example of somebody on the left also lacking relevant experience (AOC as a bartender or Bernie as a for all intents and purposes bum) and you brought up a different point that hadn’t previously been a part of the conversation. So yes, it is a non sequitir[/quote]
