Yeah I feel like this is the real answer. Maybe sanders could run with AOC as vice president and then step down if his age starts being a problem and let her take over
Sometimes I wonder if he would actually be a good choice, considering he doesn't have a history in politics. And then I remember how Trump just kinda decided he was gonna be president with no political background.
Let's make finnster president just because it would be funny and the conservatives' heads would explode. Is she a qualified? No. Is she american? No. Would she even want to be president? Probably not. Would she still be a million times better than the current president? Definitely
Like every other episode involves some train crash or other perfectly avoidable catastrophe. Granted, that's maybe their nepo mayors fault (her grandpa was mayor back in the day) but they're still very complicit.
(My daughter is 2, these thoughts are all I have to get me through watching it with her)
My daughter cheers Go Go Go! When they do that action song during an episode, and part of me wants a parody that just continues that repetition without ever ending until the credits fade to black.
I'm also not too worried about my daughter becoming right wing. She can already tell how uncomfortable I am around cops, lol (but she mostly just loves firefighters and construction workers).
Me, assuming I have unlimited power to do as I please. I would be assassinated inside of a month, but it would be a wild month. The only president with more executive orders than me would be the person who comes after and undoes all the shit I did.
Honestly a president that was just crazy but not like evil would be so funny. Paint the whitehouse pink, make the navy wear tophats, replace the $5 bill with a $6 bill, change the national anthem to never gonna give you up
A friend of mine whose decisionmaking I respect a lot. Good balance of logic and empathy. He would be an awesome president and hed hate me for dumping that shitton of responsibility on him. Wouldnt want to be in his shoes. Also id miss him, but its for the best.

I actually joked with my buddy that a golden retriever randomly picking legislation that was laid out on a desk would be better than the current administration. Like lay three competing bills on the desk, and enact whichever one the golden retriever prefers. At least we might have a chance of getting some good legislation on the books.

Probably still, Sanders? He's getting pretty old, though, so maybe AOC would be a better choice.

Not to mention the right wing authoritarianism. You're not alone in noticing. The theme song is great, though.
