White and male means Buttigieg is going to have a major problem in the primaries. Asian and male is almost as bad. Unless the Democrats suddenly decide to stop playing identity politics they're going to choose someone based on gender/race (female/not white).
He's gay though so he checks the box.

Citizens would be the shareholders
In what way does that meaningfully differ from the way a democracy is supposed to be run? Shareholders are treated as "voters" in a democratic organization, where 1 share = 1 vote.

I don't know if this applies to BetChecker, but PredictIt is heavily handicapped by an $850 max bet.

Trump: +175
Biden: +650
Beto: +900
Yang: +2200
Buttigieg: +2800
Warren: +3000
Klobuchar/Booker: +3300
Hillary: +10000
The Rock: +12500
Jeb: +15000
(payout for a $100 bet)

So who gets the majority of shares in the country? Should it be the executives, or the funders? Maybe we should have a 1 vote per tax-dollar system.
I've been following how Buttigieg's rise has been manufactured by 1-2 insiders. Mainly David Axelrod. He did a SXSW town hall. I watched Tulsi Gabbard (disclosure, I volunteer for her a bit) first and then tried to watch Mayor Pete, as he is called. He basically bombed the first 20 min. The period that any viewers would try to give the candidate any chance to better understand them. He was just a bit too nervous, he…
How does his ride compare with yang’s? I am wondering how yang got the momentum that he did

But neither is actually going to be chosen by the DNC (is Biden even running?). Just wait until the primaries start and the media attacks ramp up.
