Say what, say what?
They want us to literally vote in monarchy?
We already have been.
I propose we don’t vote for legacy politicians. Go live in the world your parents chose for all of us.
If there is anything I am sure about it is that the children of politicians are largely useless.
Statistically it is a far superior choice to literally pick a random person off the street.
This would not work in USA haha. We’d inevitability have method heads getting elected yo office at some point.
I love the idea though. Maybe we could implement it at some point with some minimum qualifications or something.
I mean the states isnt the only place that has folks who are out in the wilderness. in dublin par examplé, if you go north of the river that divides the city in half on the main street you will encounter a herion user in under 30 seconds
George Bush Jr was a coke head so close enough
Angus King III? Oh, the person whose father voted to kill tens of millions of people by voting to take away their healthcare? Automatic NOPE!
Politics was never supposed to be a nepotist endeavor.
John Quincy Adams agrees.
So does G W Bush.
American politics has always had a “legacy” problem, among other things.
Why Sanders didn’t endorse his brother when he ran for office. Sanders hates nepotism. Fucking Hollywood is full of it. We don’t need it in our politics.
Oh boy, our own House of Lords!
It still blows my mind that that exists in the modern era.
This is why you need mail in voting. You get a pamphlet of their views and time to really look at the candidates.
Mail in, ranked, no electoral college, no districts.
If you’re going to have 2 chambers of parliament, you may as well have one be elected via districts (with ranked choice) and the other be proportional representation
It will be easy to vote against them if the names are recognizable
People are trying to make family dynasties.
Fuck that mess, we need new blood. Same family, same bullshit
Americans had made it clear that we don’t take chances on electing politician relatives and family.
There had only been two instances where father and son served as presidents. The last time this happened, the Bushes ruined this country. We didn’t want Hilary Clinton, despite how well Bill Clinton was as president (and these days we probably won’t want him anymore because of Epstein). We shot down Jeb Bush’s chance of making it in office.
And if Donnie’s little son wants to run, we’ll shoot him down too.
Bill Clinton was a horrible president, balanced the budget on the backs of the working poor and more “tough on crime” neoliberal cut taxes for the rich and corpos, sold us NAFTA by telling us our manufacured goods would cost less and Mexican standards of living would improve and both were lies. And he threw a vulnerable barely out of college aged kid under the bus for one of many dalliances.
we’ll shoot him down too
Easy there, cowboy.
