  • For every left leaning person that protest voted third party or just decided not to bother for some perceived inadequacy in Kamala, real or imagined, congratulations. You played yourself. For every eligible non-voter, wake the fuck up. Harris was not perfect, definitely had some flaws and wishy washy positions. But you know what she was? Fucking normal. There is no policy for which Trump was superior, and there is no norm, tradition, law, or morality that Trump will not challenge, ignore, or destroy. You people need to fucking do something. Participation is the bare minimum. Grow up.

    Update: To all you salty down voters, yes, I mean you. Grow up.





  • The 22nd amendment says that they can’t be elected to “The office of President”. No mention in the amendment of the Vice Presidency. And the term limit definitely doesn’t apply to one’s terms as VPs if they later become President. Else George HW Bush and Biden couldn’t gave run for president after their two terms as VP each. No reason to think it applies in reverse, that presidential terms count against VP terms. Obviously, it could be argued that VPs are in the line of succession for President, and are thus ineligible after they served two terms, but it would have to be argued. It’s not explicit. Also I doubt it would work because that would also exclude them from every single other role in the line of succession. That seems overbroad.





  • Yes, an American politician should be wary of making the argument that non-ancient roots in an area make their claim on their land default.

    Honestly, I have trouble dealing with the irony that American politicians are pro-zionism becuase Jews used to hold the land a long time ago until they were outcast from their homelands aand forced to move far away, displacing Palestinian people that live tthere now in the process… and then think that Native American sovereignty (let alone their claim to their historical lands that were stolen from them) are ridiculous and unfair to contemporary US citizens that live here now.





  • No, it doesn’t. A socialist plan would be offering free tuition to any student to use at any university, free tuition at public universities, or creating and funding schools owned by the staff. This “American Academy” bullshit sounds like a way to A) take over higher education so that it can be propagandized for the right (like they already claim it is for the left), B) Justify defunding other forms of higher education assistance particularly for left leaning universities, and C) funnel billions from tax payers into some hand picked cronies to run his diploma mills and pay it forward in kick backs to him. Mark my words.
