How would you classify this? I know it to be fake, but its created to make a point. But its good enough that someone could be fooled intl believing it was real, no?

Imagine a primary with AOC, Pete Buttegieg, and maybe a third younger candidate…

All could be really exciting to see advance, but they’ll split the vote and open the way for some stupid fucking corpse to win.

I hate this system.

I hear you, but this is subjective and not objective. A bad faith actor, presumably an authoritarian government, can exploit laws like this to advance their agenda. “Yes, I was definitely convinced that was George HW Bush”.

Subjective judgements are ripe for abuse of power, sadly.

It’s a slippery slope from something that is otherwise well intentioned.

Define what a deep fake is over a parody or other political commentary.

I’m with you in your frustration, but this only furthers a class of elites being eligible to govern. The test needs to be at a level that anyone going through compulsory education could pass. Eg 8th grade.

Additionally, I would do the test at candidate registration. There is no pass fail, but the electorate can decide if they’re qualified enough (as it’s the right of the electorate).

Maybe it doesn’t fix it fully but we can directly point to who is a moron, and who voted for said morons.

They did not. They had radar, which was removed.

See you in 2032

Only two of what you mentioned are American brands, which is probably pretty relevant for a Senator to consider.

This is super duper protected political speech. So, no, it’s not illegal.

Nobody buys less stuff with a single day boycotts. They just shifted their purchases before or after.

All of the labels in these stores are e-ink displays.

Further, there actually are shelves with American goods, but surprisingly, goods that come from outside the EU are not limited to the US…

And how does it look when he fires the guy investigating his son? That’s the same shit we derided trump for doing… tinkering with the Justice Department which has long operated with a high degree of independence for exactly these reasons.

No win situation for Biden, who assumed he would get another term in office. Don’t pretend it isn’t anything but.

Napster ran from 1999-2002, meaning the tweet must be between 7-10 years old

Edit: or just be made up and a guess at the time dfferential.

Discussions on retaining ISK over the euro are not based on how difficult it is to swap the currency or change systems that use cash.

It’s about retaining control over monetary policy, which is centrally decided in the eurozone.

Even if the court says they can’t revoke, the court has no power to stop them.

Europeans: haha you guys have no history!

Also Europeans: haha you’re curious where your family emigrated from! Losers!

I’m sure they were mortified they needed to release a proprietary connector

Yes, and you abolish FPTP and now you elect a president how? I’m interested in your proposal, because it’s incomplete to say get rid of FPTP… Otherwise top vote getter, who gets maybe 30% of the vote leads the country which is also an abomination as 70% didn’t vote for that person.

Abolishing FPTP requires doing something else on top of it, ranked choice or run off would be better than the highest count.

Okay so you go with what system?

Let’s say the breakdown of votes looks the same as the Swedish breakdown. There will be more people that voted for a different candidate than the red one (Social Democrat).

This then requires a run off system like france, or a ranked choice, which is also fine to propose, but you can’t hold up a visual of a parliament and say the system is so much better, when we talk about one singular office.
