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

turbowafflz@lemmy.world · 27 pts · 1y

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

They stopped talking about him once they realised how many people were on his side.

PineRune@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 1y

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

Paw Patrol. They seem to have a handle on things. How many shitty human presidents have we had? How many shitty dog presidents? I rest my case.

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 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.

turbowafflz@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 1y (5 replies)

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

Jon Stewart has actively said he would never want to do that - which makes him one of the best candidates.

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.
