I don't like either candidate, but I'll be damned if trump is going to be president again and project 2025 comes to fruition.

You guys could just overthrow the government, kill the elite and start fresh. Please do that.

just overthrow the government

That's far easier said than done, and honestly even saying that feels like an understatement

[–] systemglitch 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Oh I know. Probably harder now than it was before the digital age.

Probably harder now than ever. I think the last time it was tried, roughly 2/5ths of the population wanted it and they failed miserably, and they were still using Muskets then.

We could just take out the pharmaceutical manufacturers and the government would expire when they don’t get their meds.

Thank you, I’ll spend the entire day rewatching the series all over again

FYI they posted all episodes to their YouTube

I sure would love to see some some of these memes leveling criticisms at moderates and liberals for being inflexible.

I've never heard of such a movement, tbh.

cant wait to be able to vote when someone under 60 is running. That's going to be a really cool day. Like 30 years from now.

I would personally be happier with 20 something year old presidential candidates over the current trend of the battling octogenarians. At least the 20 something year old politicians would have to live a long time with the ramifications of their decisions and actions.

Its still not ideal, but I would take it over these incredibly out of touch seniors. They should be out enjoying their retirement and last days on Earth, anyways.

there is definitely something to be said about the known future impact of legislation for younger members.

The majority of presidents have been under 60. Obama, Clinton, Bush 2, Jimmy Carter, JFK, both Roosevelts...

Only Trump and Biden have been over 70. Regan missed it by like 20 days.
