I feel a smidge bad for Phillips. Very successful businessman and an actual politician, but can’t even beat Williamson.
He’s one of the richest congressmen though, so I think he’ll be ok.
Nah, if he feels bad it’s a good thing. Just the worst sort of Democrat who happens to be right that Biden is too damn old, but has no other redeeming qualities.
Wealth isn’t a disqualifier to being a good person.
There seems to be some things we could examine about his character, as another commenter pointed out, but whether someone has money or not has nothing to do with my opinion on people.
I just felt it would be frustrating to be an actual politician and getting less votes than a guru.
Unfortunately, it kind of is in general.
Rich people are generally assholes
That depends on whether you think a good businessman is someone that can cut costs and increase results or someone that can generate profit.
Cut costs and increase results like those politicians who made concrete and rebar standard materials for bridges? The bridges that are now in disrepair all over the USA due to the short lifespan of the product? Nah, screw that.
If they’ve got a law degree, sure. They’re an artist? Absolutely. Engineers? Fuck Yeah! They’ve got degrees in statistics and finance? BANGER. They’re a “Businessman?” NEED NOT APPLY.
