Quote from: K-Dog on Sep 05, 2025, 09:36 AMBeing nominated for mayor in NYC is not a 'success' why. I have not done that, and neither have you.
Well, because being elected is a popularity contest....as opposed to a "success" contest. Now, he has won another election, New York State Assembly? So he started off as like...a local prom queen popularity winner. Success? Knowing the qualities of a prom queen or two in high school....eh.
And true, neither of us have been nominated for Mayor. Neither of us were born in Uganda. Neither of us picked a college degree in our ancestral history as opposed to technical fields. Both of us had careers in our speciality. Both of us did well financially in our careers, achieving signifcant net worth. I might call that a success.
If he had already won the election than that would be a political success. What does that mean though? That kissing babies, telling lies and making promises one can't keep though is something we should all aspire to?
