It's time to move on. There isn't any President who will stand in Israel's way of the horrors they're enacting in Palestine.
For now we work to prevent Trump from furthering Israel's genocide even more or committing worse here in our own country. Unless you're one of those people who genuinely believes in accelerationism which isn't going to work out the way you think it will.
I just find it uniquely American to act like if it isn’t currently what Americans do, then nobody must have ever tried it and to speak of the idea as if it is purely theoretical.
Again, I never acted like that. This is a bold assumption on your part.
If you’re against it and care, then next time instead of fear mongering in the theoretical, you can educate yourself and offer an informed opinion instead, using real data from the many countries where this is already a thing.
I'm aware of countries that take part such as Australia or Belgium. As such I'm aware of their faults too. You know the uninformed voters I was referring to? That's called a donkey vote sometimes. Your system fails to address that. Add on the logistics of tracking participation, dealing with penalties and what have you even accomplished? It genuinely sounds as if you want to control an aspect of peoples lives that should not be controlled.
Oh and since you're so very interested in American culture and what makes us different, has it ever occurred to you that with how nasty things can get on election days that compulsory voting with penalties might just be a further punishment to those already having unfortunate experiences? Republicans are known to harass and heckle other voters at the polls.
Look, there's a lot of things I believe we could adopt from other countries but there's also a lot of work to be done in general. We're not ready for something like this. Your attitudes and assumptions have shown that you are quite uninformed yourself for someone who claims to be so knowledgeable.
I feel like this might just be a culturally difference or something.
There are absolutely plenty of Americans who would just pick random names to get it over with. Even if we had a much more organized system that actually provided everyone with pamphlets educating them on candidates people here would still ignore it.
I like how this was just one point and you went off on your anti-american rant. I'm all for the first two out of the three that you mentioned there.
Congratulations, you have assumed and now you are an ass.
voting should be compulsory
This may or may not give you the outcome you're looking for. There are absolutely still people out there who don't pay that much attention to politics and having a bunch of people vote for a random name could be disastrous.
It's been a long time since I've bought frozen pizza so the temptation isn't there.
I am absolutely aware of her history as the district attorney of San Francisco and how she targeted young black men with nonviolent offenses throughout her career.
She was my least favorite out of the three options mentioned back in 2020 for VP but at the end of the day she's not Trump.
I won't agree with her on everything but Trump is this massive danger to society that can't be overlooked or allowed any ground.
Progress is progress. Any amount of empathy in this world is welcome.
They don't have anyone better right now.
At least now we don't have to deal with Republicans attacking Biden for his age and we can turn that around on Trump.
I could run a full list of pros and cons on the woman but at the end of the day we got an upgrade if this decision should have been made much earlier. Gotta always vote blue no matter who. Can't let Republicans get in.
What was that fairy tale where people disguised their faces to look ugly in order to avoid upsetting their monarch?
Probably a free dating app too. Just another reminder, you are the product.
I mean it gets worse than that. You can really put it down to a southern overreaction. Lincoln was pretty upfront about being against the expansion of slavery and admitted prior to his presidency that he did not believe the president had the authority to outright end it. If the south had not seceded and started the civil war over their unfounded fears of losing slavery then it's very likely that slavery would have existed in this country for a few more decades.
The Lincoln - Horace Greeley correspondence really makes the country look bad on the issue overall, especially when you look to the Congress of Vienna's statements on slavery which occurred roughly 50 years prior to the American Civil War.
Edit: Before someone loses their mind, yes the war was about slavery, just going further in detail.
