Someone breakdowns "how dangerous Ramaswamy is and how bad things will get in Ohio"

I don't think people realize how dangerous Ramaswamy is and how bad things will get in Ohio. : r/Columbus https://share.google/2yxa6jHaoVVqsZRkq


I'm not sure if the polls are reliable but he has a good shot at winning the election this fall. This guy is dangerous asf and I would even argue that he's just as or even more dangerous than Trump.

So we all know that before politics, he ran Axovant. He hyped up a failed Alzheimer’s drug, took it public, and watched the valuation hit $3 billion before the drug predictably failed. Retail investors got wiped out while he walked away with hundreds of millions. Ohio’s budget isn’t a tech startup and he's really talking like it is. It's actually friggin scary

He wants to axe the state income tax. This may sound great, but it’s exactly what ruined Kansas. You lose the tax, you lose the schools, the roads, and the police. It’s a recipe for a state-wide collapse. On top of that, elderly care waiver programs like Passport or Ohio home care waiver will also get gutted like crazy.

He’s been vocal about raising the voting age to 25 unless you pass a test or serve. It’s a blatant attempt to disenfranchise young Ohioans who actually have to live with his policies for the next 50 years. This shit is crazy even if it's just one of his many "creative genius" ideas. What purpose does that serve? 18 year olds are old enough to fight wars. What's your logic?

The guy wants to bring the "DOGE" type of mass-firing energy to our state agencies. Firing thousands of state workers sounds "efficient" until you realize those are the people running child services, prisons, and infrastructure. You can't run a state by just hitting the delete key. This is the type of thinking and rash decision making that got us in the state we are in with Trump. Tariffs, bombing Iran. It's short sighted thinking that will affect people's lives for years. I know so many people who lost their e-commerce business due to the tariffs this guy Trump has been playing with.

He's friggin dangerous. This guy will set back Ohio for years.
