Working to become a statesman to represent the people is the right of every damn American person.

This cartoon raises my hackles and defends the subjugation of the many to rule by the few. It's anti-democratic.
-
Any employer in the U.S. requires related qualifications for that job, and even related experience, right?
-
The qualifications to represent the voice of the people is having experience as one of the people. not being a rich disconnected person.
-
Every employer sector except politics. You just need enough money.
-
Because "we the people" don't hold to any standards b/4 casting our votes.
-
Well "we the people" don't decide who becomes president. America is a republic, not a democracy.
-
A republic, is a form of democracy. And people need to pay more attention to their local elections

Funny. But the implicit message that statesmanship is like flying a plane, & should be left to the cognoscenti, is somewhat disturbing.
-
Exactly. By that logic you'd never have elections at all.
-
Seriously? It means that you can't just be in charge of something you don't know anything about especially when people's lives are at stake
-
Yes, but where you draw the line is important. Obviously, Trump is an unqualified idiot, but a lot of people said the same thing about FDR
-
In truth, though Trump is nothing like FDR, their roads to the White House are remarkably similar.
-
Nonsense. FDR was a state senator, Secretary of the Navy, and Govenor before becoming president. And his family well connected politically.

The Trump part of this is spot on. The problem is that in the 2016 election, the woman in the story was lying about having flown the plane.
-
So she wasn't a Senator or Secretary of State? Was that fake news?
