Or.... The system is working exactly as designed

what conservatives read: "the poor shouldnt be able to vote"
Bizarkly
Just a restatement of the ol' PolySci maxim: "Three days without bread, and the rulers are dead..."

Conserving our citizens should be the goal, ie feeding, housing and clothing them. Instead birth means time to pay bills or die indebted. Wake up ye old GOP "cOnSeRvAtIvE" shitheads.

The DNC don't know what to do with him yet. I'm sure they find him quite annoying.
ClarkKentfield
Now you understand Republican's doing the stuff they do
thedudeman519
He's right
But that's when they say "Were a Republic not a Democracy" , because they are idiots.
If you say "Capitalism doesn't work if there is no money flowing through the economy"
Maybe they'd listen ?
LespritDeLescalier22
And democracy most certainly doesn’t work without a functioning secular public education system for all classes of citizens.

Democracy is a pretty subversive thought under communism!
Defcon2
OMG, that alignment
DYLANLEE79
I mean... It still works, it is in fact the will of the people if they keep voting for those who make their lives unaffordable. The current issues are a DIRECT result of democracy in action.
PhooBar
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers.
FelonyRaptor
Also it doesn't work if people don't have a basic understanding of how things work.

India would like a word. (Oh wait, it has to "work?")

Wonder when Americans will realize they never had democracy. Or had a illusion of it before Trump was elected the first time. Then even that illusion was taken away.

Clearly this man is a monster and he must be stopped

If politicians were actually doing their jobs, they would have nothing to fear.

-official party line of the Democrats

At least Chris Silwa after the dust settles said "He's the mayor deal with it"

It's a shame this guy isn't eligible to run for president.
sarukane
Neither is Trump for 2028 and he is acting like he will try.
Niagaran
Wouldn't it just require a new Amendment to fix that?
Daliena06
Technically, maybe, but good luck getting 2/3rds of both chambers of Congress, and then 2/3rds of states on top of that, to agree on literally anything, even the most objective facts, nevermind Constitutional Amendments.
spinbutton3
I'd like to see 1000+ people like him take public office all over the country.
SkyGuyTheGuy
Pretty sure he was born in Hawaii./s
KingdomsCrown
I mean the current president has broken so many laws and rules, why not just give us this one exception?
canyouflyyousucker
mafiacarstarter
He is eligible to make endorsements for presidential candidates.
RobertAG25772
Yes

Here's hoping El-Sayed wins Michigan and then the presidency

I get the sentiment, but we need to stop with the savior shit in politics. One person isn't here to save us. As Jon Stewart said, "The work of making this world resemble one that you would prefer to live in is a lunch pail fucking job, day in and day out..." It's a grind and takes all of us to find more Mamdanis, if not be them ourselves.
BorkSamson
I ALSO get your sentiment, but there is absolute nothing wrong, nay, it is what is right, to justly congratulate, and appreciate when people DO do the right thing, even if its just in an effort to inspire the next to do that.
Thargrid
Not too clear on the US Constitution, but could he be a VP pick?
TheAdrachian
But he can run for Governor of the great State of New York!!!!
canigifinpaint
No he couldn't, the same rules apply since that person could be President. Shame, he seems like a good guy.
blaghart
nope, anyone in the line of succession for US President de facto must be eligible for president.
RobertAG25772
Just what I was gonna say. But even if he were natural born, it’s too soon; he’d have dues to pay first. If you want to see what a president who didn’t pay dues in lower office is like, look at the current one.
RobertAG25772
PS I’d put it in language that pres DJT could understand: Would you make someone who never worked a day in his life (not even volunteer work) the Chairperson of the Board of a Fortune 500 co? (No, you can’t hire your friends or family)
TrumpIsAFelon
But you can have them trade stocks on your behalf and bypass the reporting laws! Looking at you, Barron
RobertAG25772
Bypassing the main point. But then DJT often misses the point, accidentally or intentionally. He might be stupid enough to put sone one who never worked in charge of a company.
