They say “anyone can become president”, but this will be the first presidential election since 1970s, where there is no Bush, Clinton, or Biden on the ballot.

You're viewing a single thread.
Joe Biden doing some heavy lifting in this narrative as a VP and one term president. If anything, Joe Biden and Bill Clinton actually prove this point that anyone can become president, both come from very modest means.
The Bushes, however, are a dysfunctional political dynasty stretching back to senator and investment banker Prescott Bush, George HW's father, and Samuel Prescott Bush, a steel executive and industrialist, who was HW's grandfather.
Also, you left out that this is the 3rd election in a row with Trump on the ballot.
"I will have you know I'm a self made man, just like my father and his father before him"
"I will have you know I'm a self made man, just like my millionaire father and his millionaire father before him"
FTFY
That's the joke, but worse.
You suck, McBain!
You don't have to be a millionaire to be "self made". Tons of average joes consider themselves to be. The distinction is relevant.
It is also just one man. No parents, siblings, children, spouses like the Bushs or Clintons. No one is getting all uppity about politicians like Glitch McConnell having decades in the senate.
I think a lot of us are actually uppity about that
Also who says "anyone can become president"? Liars and the gullible, I guess
Anyone can run for president, but corpo media will decide who can succeed :(
The whole thing is heavy lifting. Clinton and Bush havent been a thing for 20 years. Running and losing doesn't count.
