Do you not think that Yang would be a better president than Trump? I just don’t think that your point is all that relevant. Give me someone that doesn’t make an *** out of himself and brings real tangible changes for the people.

I don’t know whether he would or wouldn’t be.
What I do know is that expertise matters. Don’t you think it wise to elect someone to the highest level of government who has maybe just a little bit of experience in government?
Don’t you think there’s a reason so few people without experience in politics or the military have been elected to the office of President?
Would we hire someone to coach the jazz who had no experience coaching or playing in the NBA? Why?
Would you trust just anyone to perform a surgery on you? Or would you seek a professional?
Why shouldn’t the office of president be any different?
Expertise matters. If Yang wants to try politics, let’s see him do it as local politics. If he shows he’s competent there, try state politics. Then try national.
Why are we rushing to give the least knowledgeable and least experienced the ability to kill billions of people? To lead our justice department and law enforcement? To be the most influential member of our society? Why? To me, expertise is extremely relevant.
I think this is indicative of the larger problem we have in our society; the devaluation of knowledge and expertise. You’d think people like @Jazzta would understand the value of this after seeing trump. But then again, @Jazzta is naive enough to deny Russia’s attack on us in 2016. So I need to keep that in mind in considering the sources of someone who clearly doesn’t value knowledge or expertise.

That worked so well with 45.
The type of absolute garbage you consume in the form of media on a daily basis is astounding. And the level of it you consume and then think you should share on Jazzfanz speaks volumes about how absolutely meaningless your point of view is.

Arnold Schwarzenegger would make a great president imo. Too bad he can't run.
Roast me for what it's worth, but the guy is solid.

I lived in CA when he was Governor, I'll pass.

Maybe the bar has been set way too low.
There's a bar?

Apparently.
Heard Arnold on the Howard Stern show this week and I just think he's a good dude.

That’s a monster of it’s own, I don’t see how you can attempt to make a point with such a comparison.
Established politicians have established bases of support and financial backers. We know what they have done, and what their backers will allow. Yang will be a complete mystery in that regard, but he will have backers, and we don't know what they will expect from him.
