So, what, 6 months for the UK to get bored with him and he’s out?
He has to fix a number of things that are impossible or contradictory and indeed after 6 months they'll realize he too can't do it, or make some unpleasant compromises that make people hate him.
why isn't America doing this shit lmao
Because the UK and US have completely different forms of government?
electing a centrist zionist who will do exactly nothing? Way ahead of you on that. If you follow our playbook you'll get a fascist next after people get fed up with labour's idiocy.
You mistake idiocy & Idiocracy for acting. Watch the Hoosier suck all of Gatorade by label stealing brand name plastered over exactly that movie the decade ago it broadcast all of that.
Are you having a stroke?
Nah, I'm married and don't need to.
DSA wants the house to turn into parliament which elects a president just like parliamentary systems btw. If you want this, so does the DSA. I think a parliamentary system is much better than what we have in the US. Maybe a few states could do it first in the US.
Because the US is a dictatorship.
We like potatoes. We like Dicks. We have big ships. Butt no I have no interested in that level seafaring pornographic broadcasting and bragging on plain TV. Literally everyone I ever try talk to is trying to avoid a conversation. The most I get is for them to STFU, walk(run) away, or even stutter-puzzle face and side look.
No I think they start the hate right now...
Lettuce hate.
I didn't know you had Taco Bell there.
But why? Count binface is right there and more competent than any of those tossers!
VOTE FOR THE COUNT. THE ONE WITH THE O.
The only candidate that's more than a cunt.
Somehow I'd never run across the phrase "rough sleeping" as a term for homelessness before.
They are technically slightly different terms. Someone can be homeless by choice. They could also be homeless, but have somewhere to stay (e.g. a shelter). Rough sleeping refers to people who have to sleep outside, without it being a choice on their part.
The term has had a lot of creep. It's akin to how the word retarded changed from a medical description to an insult.
Its really such a poor choice of words. Why try to invent new words for the exact same thing? The only thing that comes to mind in this case is strategic manipulation.
It's a subcategory of homelessness, because homelessness takes many forms not all of which involve sleeping on the street.
Here's the song his brother wrote him to celebrate:
All Eyes On Me - Bo Burnham
Love his brother's work. I didn't know they are related.
