Naa we really don't need a president, many of the founders were against it. Worried about another king or consolation of power.

What'd ya know...only 250 years later and they were right.

“I have the right to do a lot of things that people don’t even know about.”

Well, that's true... let's start with "You have the right to remain silent... you have the right to an attorney..."

And do you need a special ppa to download pile driver drivers for Linux?

This is solved with automation. Alternatively I suppose they might be into that, too.

Rights for all, or rights for none.

So being subjected to a Mrs Peggy there is something for him and all the other chucklefucks to think about

Don't worry, the accelerationists have been promising that letting everything get way worse will lead to genuine change. I'm sure they'll be starting that socialist uprising any day now!

Aaaaany day now...

I have the "pleasure" of knowing a few of those types.

They are so fucking exhausting. I don't know what's worse - the die-hard Libertarians that carry that bullshit fantasy throughout their lives, or the armchair Marxist theorist chin-scratchers that think the Democrats are equally bad as Republicans and always want to give you a long-winded think-piece about it.

At least some of the Libertarians drain some votes away from Republicans.

They became much worse after October of 2023, though. I guess if they focus on the economics side they are not quite as annoying, and a bit more grounded, but some of them just cannot drop the voter-repellent, like intersectionality and checking your privilege and taking the maximalist position on culture war issues and so on. The best part? Most of them are proud that they don't even vote.

At a certain point it's the opposition party's fault, and we are way way past that point.

I wonder if the sanctimonious fucks who wouldn't vote because if Israel are happy now

There was none and wont be any. There seems to be this idea that the states just wont do it. Which is fucking stupid but yeah here we are with a pedophile in the white house so...

Wasn't there a state that tried to leave him off the ballot but we're overruled?

What does he have to do to be taken seriously? Wake the fuck up, America, the jig is up, there is no more democracy, you'll be lucky if there continues to be a pretense of democracy much longer. Fuck anyone who says it's only for four years

Okay. I thought about it like you asked and I seem to have very quickly reached a different conclusion. Thanks for the suggestion to think about it.

You reached the end
