Ah its that darn work experience required but how do you get work experience paradox.
By this logic we should never elect new politicians.
Has she held any positions at all? What does she do between running for president?
22 years of campaigning, and never once held any office whatsoever. Truly a great leader!
How do you expect someone to get elected if being elected is a prerequisite.
She continues political work. Talks, events, promoting other green party people. Stuff that doesnt make headlines.
So, nothing. Got it.
The democratic senate nominee for my state also has never held a political office.
Does that person only run for president and nothing else?
You just try to grab onto any difference you can see, starting with a conclusion that she's bad and then working backwards trying to find a reason. She runs for president because that office is responsible for the bulk of issues she wants to address. To start, theyre called the green party for a reason, the president appoints the head of the EPA and Department of Energy. And foremost the president is head of the military, and she's had a long outspoken position against the US's absurd military. The expenses, the wars, the invasions, the abuse of human rights domestically. Throw in the departments of labor and homeland security and its a huge converging point for progressive goals.
Goals are useless if you're not actually trying to achieve them.
