Let’s not forget there has been a big paradigm shift with regard to running for president. People used to run for president because they wanted to be president. Now, lots run to raise their public profile and to secure email addresses and donors for their PACs, which they then wield to increase their influence.
Unfortunately my money is on Biden → Bernie → no idea on Beto.
I think if Biden doesn’t run Bernie locks the nomination and loses to Trump. Imo the most important thing for the Dem nominee to be is not easily painted as the Boogeyman ala Hillary/anyblackguy
I’ll agree with this. The day may come sooner rather than later where Dems are unlikely to nominate a rich white male but they aren’t there yet. Hopefully they never reach it (I don’t think either should be a disqualifier) And hopefully Republicans reach a point where they will nominate someone other than a rich white male.
False, all millionaires have money, but may not be rich. Being rich consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.The wise man regard wealth as a slave, the fool as a master.
Millionares are what 5, 6% of the population? I’d say if you have that much money compared to the rest of the population you’re rich. However rich and wealth are terms that no one agrees on. I’m basically rich compared to the people in the area I live in or at least upper class. And I make under 100,000. However I wouldn’t even be able to live in a lot of areas 30 miles north of me.
