Eiki, I don't see how a businessman is any worse than a career politician. Both actively are against we the people, except for what we can do for them. Both are about keeping their own interests happy. And none of them has any idea what their people's struggles really are. Nor do they care.
Now it'll make everyone happy that I'm not voting for Schultz. Were I to vote for any business person it would have been Fiorina, but that ship has sailed a few years ago.
There is one major difference, and we're finding out about it now, and it's that businessmen don't actually understand how government works. For Exhibit A just look at Trump, who's been trying to run government like a business (one man at the top who makes the big decisions, rather than a President working in tandem with two houses of Congress to make decisions together), and the only reason it hasn't yet been a disaster is sheer luck. Whatever you might say about interests, and you certainly have a valid point there, at least the career politician understands the way the system works, or at least is supposed to work.
Plus, I honestly think Harris is a decent person. In fact, I would say that about most of the Democratic candidates and even a few of the potential Republican candidates (Kasich, for example). And for what it's worth, I think Schultz is probably a pretty decent person, but he's also most likely completely ignorant of government. Also, to be honest, Trump has given the concept of any businessman with no government experience taking the Presidency a bad taste in my mouth that will probably linger for a long time.
That, and a Democrat running as an Independent will practically guarantee a second term for Trump. Just look at 1912, when a Republican ran as an Independent and handed the Presidency to a Democrat that won only 42% of the popular vote. Do we really want a repeat of that with the orange nightmare in charge?
