Despite what the media might have you believe is the most important thing to have you pay attention to (that Biden is old), it seems that the general public is more interested in learning about something else: Project 2025. Not that many appear to be...
It’s sad when the best candidate that the Democrats can field against a Fascist who literally tried to stage his own Beer Hall Putsch against Congress and kickstart the Fourth Reich… is a senile fossil who should be in a care home, not the White House.
That’s what you get with a FPTP/two party system. Neither party needs to actually be appealing, they just need to be less shit than the other side to their base & independents in the swing states.
It’s hard not to see this country as doomed.
He’s not the best candidate. He’s the best that the party apparatchik want.
The democrats could run a literal cup of coffee and I would vote for it before that draft dodging, child rapist piece of shit Trump.
Well shit, why even have a president then? Lets just have a king, accountable to nobody. Thats what youre suggesting, after all. That whoever is in power wont even be publically known.
You already said that is what you want.
Real executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not some farcical aquatic ceremony
You are trying so hard to talk with the big kids and it’s just so ADORABLE 😍
Quit deflecting bro
“I don’t think that word means what you think it means.” Bruh.
No, it does. Youre clearly just an imbecile who picked up a couple cutesy retorts that you for some reason are trying to apply anywhere you can imagine, in place of having any actual thoughts.
Three whole days to come up with THAT response?! Do please, call off the dogs!
Oh, child. I never deflected, i ignored your bad-faith arguments, which you have in spades. “Who did Trump genocide?” Same as Biden, no one. How many Americans have died under Biden due to a botched pandemic response? Is it more than a million, cos thems Trump numbers…
At least I’m not the one regurgitating Russian propaganda and pretending that it’s my original thoughts. I can’t wait to read your response around Halloween.
Yeah cause I was busy having a life and didnt get on lemmy. Not all of us are no lifers like you. Biden aides in a genocide. Trump didn’t. And youre literally blaming trump for a pandemic happening under him? How stupid are you?

I’m down with that. Direct election of cabinet members, judges, military brass, and anyone else that the president hires to delegate work. Presidents don’t work, they hire. The people should be the ones hiring. Some cabinet seats would in turn gain the power of vote to exercise other formerly presidential powers, such as signing or vetoing bills. All meetings with other world leaders (for example) are managed by the ambassador to the UN, directly elected by the people. We would ranked vote for who we think the best ambassador would be, independent of the best labor secretary, etc. Forces us to focus on specific jobs as a framing for the electoral process.
Just to point out, since the USA has never been an empire, it would be the “First Reich”. The term “Third Reich” for Germany only fits because it was meant to succeed the HRE (as first Reich) and the German Empire (as second Reich)
