Don’t give her any ideas

I mean…that’s the reason Gimp exists?

That’s like saying “The biggest problem with the French Revolution is that it happened. If it hadn’t then the conditions would have been perfect for a popular uprising against the ruling class.”

Look at the bright side, once intel gets this new plant up and running cranking out next-gen chips, Google will be able to fail you even faster!

Except it would be reducing the influence of career politicians by increasing the influence of corporate plants. It would make political offices even more of a revolving door than they already are. Would also increase the number of people just going rogue on their last term because “what are you gonna do, not elect me again?”

A whole lot of other shit would need to change first before implementing term limits would make any sense to do. At the very least overturning the Citizens United decision and some sort of mechanism to help ensure that politicians actually govern according to the platform they run on. And arguably both of those things would do a lot more to help our current problems than term limits would…which means neither is ever going to happen.

Tell that to the Chinese government lol

Well you’re in luck, because America already lets in more immigrants than any other country on the planet.

If the best in the world isn’t good enough for you, I’m not sure what to tell you.

Why not just run someone with some fucking empathy?

Because, unfortunately, that person will be seen as weak, and lose.

Obama deported more illegal immigrants than George W Bush and Donald Trump combined. Biden deported more illegals in his first 18 months than Trump did during his entire term.

Democrats being “weak on immigration” is nothing more than a racist dog whistle to stir up GOP voters.

Nobody wants illegal immigrants pouring over the border. Fortunately, that’s not how most illegals get here. Most of them just overstay their visa after it expires.

Democrats understand that simple fact. Republicans don’t.

Not a day goes by that I don’t wish that Biden were as far to the left as the GOP pretends he is.

Yeah that’s because they are ideologically a lot further to the left as a nation than the US is, not because of some arbitrary feature of how their government functions.

Anybody who insists the parliamentary/multi party system is somehow better for the people of a given country need only look at…basically every country that has that system…to see that that isn’t necessarily the case.

“Let’s switch to a multiparty system, that way we can have four parties pretending to give a shit about us while catering to the demands of the rich instead of just two!”

The 3rd parties in the US are only on the side of the little guy because they are also the little guy. If you put them into power they will not stay on the side of the little guy.

Ranked choice voting would make a far bigger difference, as that would allow a greater diversity of opinion both within party platforms, and in the voting booth.

I do not have enough hit points to be that reckless lol

Thanks to Morrowind and Skyrim i still find myself absent-mindedly noticing “alchemy ingredients” when walking through the woods on hiking/camping trips, despite the fact that I haven’t played either game in a couple years at this point.

As long as you don’t overload the turntable motor. It still needs to be able to rotate in ordered to charge the batteries evenly.

It’s been bad for a few years at least but it has gotten even worse recently, I assume due to incorporating AI/LLM’s into the mix.

Called it!

Sounds like the perfect time for that 5 year long camping trip I’ve always wanted to go on

For him to find a young, energetic, independent person to back, there would have to be one for him to find. AOC is probably the closest thing we have and she won’t be old enough to run for president until the next election cycle.

I was probably 9 or 10 at the time, visiting at a (wealthy) friends house, and my friend was showing me a bunch of his dads cool stuff, among which was a legitimate whip, like straight up indiana jones style. Naturally, I had to try it out…indoors…underneath the crystal chandelier hanging in their entryway…I wasn’t allowed over anymore after that.
