The incumbent president always runs.
Not always. Yes, usually, but definitely not always. See, for example, in the last 100 years:
Johnson in 1968 (he knew he had no chance against RFK and had alienated a lot of the base with the escalation of the war in Vietnam)
Truman in 1952 (low polling because of the war in Korea and other domestic issues)
Coolidge in 1928 (“The Presidential office takes a heavy toll of those who occupy it and those who are dear to them. While we should not refuse to spend and be spent in the service of our country, it is hazardous to attempt what we feel is beyond our strength to accomplish.”)
Granted, all three of these men served more than one full term in office because they each had taken over after the previous president had died, but each had the ability to run for an additional term and chose not to. Anyway, it is no more true that the incumbent president always runs than it is true that the VP always runs for the presidency at the conclusion of that term.
I’m upvoting, not because I agree, but because this is probably the least popular opinion on this thread, and I commend you for taking such a stance.
Death by Snu Snu!
I’ve used “Joe’s roadside cafe, you kill em, we grill em” before
I’m unsure what your point is. Are you talking about social media companies, or are you talking about the government? Because free speech is about censorship from the government, not private corporations
bonus points for combining the two in one post
Two terrorists one cup?
Um… Orwell was talking about speaking truth to power, not spreading lies and vitriol.
Considering how much hair Neelix had, I wonder if he tried to convince Kes to ignore the razor
No, the law is against “distributing food without a permit” … which does essentially bar people from giving food to homeless people outside of a soup kitchen or something. But yeah, it’s still a shitty law.
Pizza and weed sounds like a good business model, tbh
Why even bother with a dream? “As soon as your hand touches the chair, everyone in the room is flung into a parallel dimension, each of your consciousnesses replacing the consciousness of the previous host, Quantum Leap-style. You are all sitting in a high school cafeteria on folding metal chairs…”
Then find a way to tell the players that you all need to somehow get the low-INT barbarian inhabiting Karen’s body elected PTA president before their consciousnesses can be returned to their original bodies.
I can’t tell if you’re being serious or not, but I’m talking about the DARE program.
Uhhhhh… poop knife?
But seriously, I was a kid who had to go through DARE in school, and I did not know how much outright lying was part of that program. And because I was a goody-two-shoes, I believed everything DARE told me.
I was in my late 30s before Reddit presented me with facts that showed me that LSD does not, in fact, pool at the base of your spine and cause you to trip randomly for the rest of your life.
The first two seasons of Andromeda were ok. After that, it became the Kevin Sorbo show. From what I understand, he was always a pain to work with, but when he demanded greater control over the direction Andromeda took, things went downhill. I still haven’t finished the series.
NGL, I kinda want to see the dumpster fire of a show starring Kevin Sorbo, Tim Allen, and Scott Baio. As if the last two seasons of Andromeda weren’t bad enough, lol
Maybe… Maaaaaayyyyyyybeeeee the Democrats need to nominate someone who is actually worth getting excited about instead of just being not-Trump.
Oh yeah? Then why doesn’t the ref award anyone 10 yards on the play? /s
Wow. The argument against trans women in sports is already unscientific enough. Why is chess even split into gendered categories? This just makes zero sense.
