I'm not sure why you think that's by my logic, because being a politician or a celebrity is not the same as literally being their actual boss in their job.

Because they still hold as much if not more power as being your boss.

Celebrities hold more "soft power" compared to a direct supervisor. AKA they can influence your life but not like ruin their career on a whim.

Politicians don't directly influence individual people like that either(unless it is something like handing a big contract to their business). most countries don't run dictatorships like that. Like I am unsure what you think the President would do to harm their spouse let alone like a state senator.

They can hire people to mess your life up and or fabricate things to say against you.

literally, anybody with money can do that. Hell I could fucking do that because it takes a shockingly little amount of money to fuck others over

Which is why the whole people shouldn't date their superiors is pretty stupid.

as you point out there being some level of power imbalance in relationships is common. What /u/2sp00ky4me is saying is that DIRECT supervisors shouldn't date the people they supervise.

And that goes both ways.

Really it is just you don't want people to cry that there is a major bias. That is why when that situation arises companies frequently re-assign at least one of the people involved. because they don't want other workers claiming they were unfairly treated but also they want the underling who is in the relationship to also be fairly judged during reviews.

Basically you "shouldn't" date your boss for the same reason Judges shouldn't preside over cases with companies/people they have previous personal relationships with. Because any amount of perceived bias is not something people want to deal with.
