2020 Presidential election

I love how Howard Schultz has terrible poll numbers across the political spectrum. If anything, I think he might hurt affluent republicans who don’t want to re-elect trump but can’t bring themselves to vote for a democrat.

Ask anyone (including Howard) what he’s for and they can’t answer. He’s just another rich person who used the bridge when he needed it and now doesn’t want anyone else to use it. He’s against reestablishing the higher taxes that helped him get out of the projects.

Had he grown up in today’s America, his ability to climb the socio-economic ladder would be significantly hindered.

Lol

Exactly.

But hey, he’s richer than god so he can do this **** rather than... you know... making the world a better place by promoting good candidates, education, or political positions with evidence supporting them.

This is a problem. Not sure if we’ve ever been without it. But with the excessive wealth inequality combined with the ease of distributing really awful information, we have just waaaayyyy too many people with platforms giving them influence that they shouldn’t have.

Anti-Vax celebrities, Donald trump, Howard Shultz, Gweneth Paltrow, and the kardashians all come to mind.

Have you seen the Fyre documentary yet?
 
Presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg (D) on Sunday dismissed President Trump's efforts to portray Democratic policy pitches as "socialism," arguing that the term no longer carries negative connotations.

“I think he's clinging to a rhetorical strategy that was very powerful when he was coming of age 50 years ago, but it's just a little bit different right now," Buttigieg, the South Bend, Ind., mayor who has launched an exploratory committee to run for president, said on CNN's "State of the Union."

But it probably created a ton of jobs. How will a single mother find three $10/hr jobs if our betters can't make millions upon millions of dollars a year?
 
Andrew Yang makes a lot of sense.

I don't know enough about him yet - but there's definitely some intriguing stuff.

And he's talking about the one thing that politicians are either afraid to talk about or have no clue about - and that's how AI is going to completely decimate the lower half of the American job landscape within 10 to 12 years.
 
So did democrats learned from their failure in 2016 and will support a normal candidate this time?
