Well my good-faith arguments would be direct democracy (i.e. everyone votes on every change) or ranked choice, but that has its own problems. However, you didn't say it has to be serious. So I suggest a system that locks a chimpanzee on LSD into a room with signs (options) and blinking lights. Chimp starts rolling and points to the blinky light he likes (or hates) either way, your government is operating far more efficiently than hairless apes doing something that is apparently too much work, and most are just as ill-informed as acid-chimp. I honestly think acid chimp accidentally gives you a better (albeit random) set of values than capitalism/democracy ever has.

Look at the whole fruit bundle before they break it apart for shipping. You can't tell me it's NOT a berry.

Umm no. Switzerland held Nazi riches for decades and hid how much gold it took from the Nazi regime. Fuck Switzerland.

AOCs attractiveness goes beyond politics.

As a veteran, I'd like to throw out a few more reasons. Captain bone spurs is a draft dodger, and on top of that, called McCain (an American hero) a loser for getting caught. Also essentially called all POWs losers, and all soldiers/veterans suckers. During his time in office, he didn't help us AT ALL. Beyond that, many of my fellow veterans are homeless. Way too many of us. And now they're targeting the homeless as an entire group as being illegal, just so they can be rounded up and be made into slave labor. It's abhorrent that ANY currently active or separated veterans could EVER support that POS.

This is true. As a former combat medic, I support all American school bathrooms having tampons and super glue... Well... Maybe not super glue.

But there's been so many.

"Dictator on day one"

"You won't have to vote anymore"

Those are just the two off the top of my head as I'm heading back into work on my lunch break.

This is the kinda shit that they do that makes church membership go down. It's been on a downward trend for decades, and they still think they're some kind of powerful majority. Fuck. Off.

The big thing here is that polls skew right. They have been for years. This is why Democrats have been winning again and again recently, by large margins. Young people don't participate in polls. We don't answer calls from numbers we don't know. I know I'm calling myself "young" as an elder millennial, but compared to people who answer every call, I am young. That's why polls skew right, then the election goes left. My generation and younger won't pick up the phone for numbers we don't recognize. We grew up in the tech world and know better. Boomers and GenX will pick up the phone and proudly proclaim their position. Recently polls have suggested that the right wing is ahead, yet they keep losing. Because they're losers, and I'm happy that my generation is blocking that bullshit. I hope the younger generations keep up with ending totalitarian rule and will continue the fight against psychopathy.
