You do know anyone can run for congress if they are eligible. … Shouldn't the voters in his district have the right to make that decision.
You children are entertaining. you throw up more strawmen than the average high school freshman and his first competitive debate

Where did I say that he should not be allowed to run? Where did I say that his district should not have the opportunity to vote for him?

I just don't think he's particularly qualified. And the OP was hilarious.

if you think that voting for a musician with no experience is the best possible option for US Congress, go for it.

Carry on.

Your initial post was literally a straw man. Hypocrisy isn't a flattering outfit.

if I had said "I have trouble taking seriously the opinions of an adult male who still plays video games," now THAT would've been a strawman.

no matter how much I may have thought that, I did not say it.

I absolutely do. Your first post implied that people were saying to vote for him because he was involved with a beloved video game and made fun of that line of thought. Zero people made that argument. One person made an obvious statement of support and that was due to the guys professed family first qualities. Ergo your first post was a straw man.

Less qualified have held elected office. Not saying that's a great reason, just pointing it out.
People think I'm an idiot or something, because all I do is cut lawns for a living.

Leftists are of course melting down at him running as a Republican. I am convinced these people never played or even know about the extreme military sci-fi that is Halo.

Halo is basically a male power fantasy about fighting against an overwhelming and technologically superior enemy in a last stand where if you lose then not only do you die but everything you knows also dies too. The only sci-fi universe more right wing coded than Halo is Warhammer 40k.

careful who you say is and is not qualified. Take a look at our founding fathers. I think more regular Americans that have built businesses and have a vested interest in the country would be far better than the asshats in DC now.

Compared to the majority of leeches currently in DC, the country would be better if that city had a reset button pushed on it.

YEAH! We don't need retired successful people who want serve the public with civic duty to make this place better. We only need career bureaucrats and politicians who know how to grease the skids and scratch the right backs to get their backs scratched! Everybody knows that people whose experience is all in government know best that more government makes the world go around!

For being such a deep thinker, this is a pretty shallow dive.

People who least want or need the job are usually a decent barometer of how bad things have become. Lot's of folks are desperate for just about anyone to step in and correct the continued downward spiral into globalist communism brought to us by the WEF ring-kissing, establishment, uni-party jack-wagons.

Heck, I think a qualification for political office needs to be:

Do you want this office?

If the answer in "no", you're qualified.
oh no
