To bad women are no better. People are people and assholes want power.
Then maybe let us prove it, for a change?
Apparently America would rather have this than entertain the idea of a woman in charge. :(
Specifically this one though; i wish my opportunity to ruin.
You've got my vote.
Thank you. I promise a great sundering. I promise ruin grief and desolation
Heres my platform:
A new government department dedicated to making your pets hate you.
A great new infrastructure public works and jobs project inspired by 'fullmetal alchemist'.
Nationalize twitter
All government services are now provided through chat bots. On twitter. Also the character limit is back.
End racism by instituting slavery for all americans, regardless of race or creed
Make new, more fucked up, racism. Possible a caste system, but definitely involve calipers.
Those dog robots? More of those.
Murder drones with arbitrary targeting rules, changed daily and only announced an hour in advance
Start a grand research project to realize every dystopian scifi novel
Engineer every child (to be a fucking disaster)
Taxes are now microtransactions. Through twitter. There will be points.
I promise to destroy or steal for myself: the moon and at least one continent.
Still capitalism, but cops have to break in and use your toothbrush at least once a week.
All home appliances must be wifi enabled and access your social media-including sex toys.
Gender affirming care for trans people is just as banned, but now cis people need to do it (we will check)
You can still have ice cream, but we only do meat and periodic table flavors now. No the meat is not cooked first.
All identification now requires licking a surface. You can clean the surface with a dry sponge. After you use it.
Possible slogans: Outhouseperilous 2028-
-a politician you want to lie!
-Hope you can trust; hope that im lying!
-Fuck it
-Can this really be worse?
-at least shes not a fascist
-no war for oil, only war for war
I applaud you, bravo! Still better than Frump.
true
Just to be clear, i do brlieve that for a better world we need nobody in charge.
But i really want to try my hand at ruining everything. i feel like id be better at it.
I think overall it would be slightly better. I normally score a society by how safe the woman are, especially when they're alone.
I agree that it would be slightly better. Not because women are in some way superior to men, but because more diverse groups in gender and culture perform better in almost any metric measured.
IME women in positions of power put in less misogynistic policies. Which would be an improvement.
The republican women congresspeople and SCOTUS justices perform exactly the same capitulation as the republican men in those positions... Murkowski and Coney-Barrett have both been outspoken in these last weeks about their support of the direction the country is headed.
Yes, politicians maneuvere their supporters into key positions. Plus Trump doesn't appear to allow dissent
Doesn't this just support the opposite of your idea though? Regardless of gender, politics is about power, and it rewards those who do what is necessary to gain and retain power. We wouldn't just be holding a lottery to randomly appoint women to positions of power - we'd be selecting for (in one way or another) the most power-hungry women in society.
My original point was that IME women in power put less misogynistic policies in place.
usually one installed by a MAN, it ends up bad its called glass ceiling in some cases. its the case for many companies, aka X, or has gotten in a position of power through nepotism from thier husband or other. this allows woman to act as a lightning rod for criticism and failures while hiding behind said woman, which the man caused.
these are 2 things where woman are often seen as bad leaders, but if you look behind how they got there: nepotism/favors/connections or only electable when she is associated with a man(like with the clintons) or installed as PR shield, its actually still the mans fault.
