Michael Bloomberg is Donald Trump, just on a different side of the aisle. Vanity, narcissism and the desire to be dictator are far more similar than different between the two.
Minus the sexual assaults, paying off strippers and adding in building your own worth of course
Equal the overt racism. Bloomberg was all in on racial profiling in New York. Some of his comments are downright awful about African Americans and Hispanics.
Honest question from a foreigner, why do Americans need rich people or celebrities (or both) to be President? Wouldn’t someone intelligent and educated be a better choice to represent you on the world stage?
Quite frankly, the election of Trump has most of the world questioning your entire education system among other things. Not a hater... just an interested observer.
I don't think it is possible to run for president and not be rich. I have no clue how the election of Trump is a reflection of our education system. And I don't know a single person who give's a shit about what other countries think of us. Not a hater...just a casual observation.
Sorry the truth hurts so much
What about the 46 MM people who didn't vote for Trump, the majority. Did the education system fail them too?
Hey man, I was just telling you the world perception. Don’t shoot the messenger

Anyways, I apologize for offending anyone. Was not intentional. I apologize for the generalization, did not mean to infer all Americans are uneducated. Not my country and all countries have their own issues. Our Pm is no genius either.

I’it’s a free country here. I don’t have to hesitate. Maybe you like being muzzled?
Bezos is next, right? Maybe not this cycle, but Bezos is coming for president. The new order is in motion.
Sure, why not? It's not like career politicians have done a bang up job for the last 50 years.
Or, ya know, more people across the spectrum could run for office. Which we're definitely seeing more of lately (thank god). Oh, and if everybody gave a shit about their state & local elections as much as one race that comes around only every 4 years. Don't know if people know this, but there's an election every year. In some (most) places two.
No one gives a flying fuck about you, personally, not in the context of really caring. Stop fooling yourself that human nature is different for rich people to middle class people to poor people.
*edit - no politician. I'm sure your friends and family care.

Yes it is good, but it's interesting... in order to work your way up, you are then a career politician and disconnected from the 'people'. But if you think you understand the people you can run for a big office to start. But that takes money, which takes personal success. So it's sort of a Catch 22. Obama was a total aberration, but even he was not exactly 'regular guy'. He was a professor and a Senator, so not exactly regular either.

Sure, and that's part of the very problem which we are accepting. As much as I'd like to see someone go from community organizer --> state rep --> state senator/governor --> congress --> potus, I'd also like to see campaign finance reform across the board. And this isn't just to say we should be concentrating on POTUS, but to inform people that what they choose on the state level is just as important. Give me one election a year in a rank choice format with no ability to donate beyond being an individual voter/donor. The system should be already in place to make it capable for anyone to run for any office.

Are you advocating for a government full of Joe the Plumbers? I for one prefer my POTUS be the smartest person in the room, on most things, and to realize when they’re not.

Fuck no I'm not. I don't want an average guy to be president. Average guys I know are generally idiots, completely uniformed on policy and affairs. I was merely pointing out the catch - 22 of the whole thing. If you want move your way up, you are by definition a career politician. If you want a big job, you need money to get going (and be campaigning without getting paid for a few years). Therefore businessmen/women running for president doesn't bother me anymore than a senator or governor.
That reminds me of What We Do In The Shadows. "It was a bad time for Nazi vampires. If you were a Nazi? Eeek.. And if you were a vampire? Yeeesh. And Nazi vampires? Whoooo!" Fantastically funny movie if anyone hasn't seen it.

A man would never get away with the crap warren pulled. Does she have any proof of that fat broad comment? A man says that he is done. Escorted off the stage. And all the times warren just interrupts and starts talking over everyone else. And the Hispanic moderator that torpedoed klobuchar? That was nasty. Why do we need five moderators?
The hand raising has to stop. It enabled warren to get away with her behavior. (But the image of Bloomberg raising his hand for permission with that look in his eyes... priceless)
and the practice if your name is mentioned you get to talk is absurd and biased. Whenever a moderate said socialist healthcare, warren and sanders get a free turn. Happened over and over. But the moderates never got a rebuttal for healthcare with an option. But when they attacked billionaires in a veiled attack on Bloomberg, he got no opportunity to respond. They should all get two minutes to respond, period. This biased form of debating gives an unpopular policy equal time, but not equal time to candidates.
