Don't follow much US politics because yous cunts shoehorn it into every fuckin thread about squirrels, dog food or whatever, but why is that lassie not your president? Instead of the two pish-reeking geriatric cunts you've got at the moment
She will not be the minimum age of 35 until next year and this is ineligible to run for the position till 2028
Also, we have a racism and sexism issue in this country so it would be an uphill battle.
She's 35 in October, she is eligible
She wasn't eligible last time around, which is why she couldn't be president now.
We have an election this year in November. A month after her 35th birthday. She could be the nominee instead of Biden.
Soooo, there is a minimum age but not a maximum ?
Yet cognitive decline starts way earlier than people are willing to admit !
I'm not even 40 yet, but my brain just glasses over reality and sees whatever it is used to seeing.
Yeah, at least as early as 1776
LMAO, cognitive decline does not begin in your 30s, but yeah I guess so. There is something to be said about intelligence plus life experience.
Lol but reading comprehension starts at 4 mate 😅
According to the SCOTUS, being ineligible for the Presidency isn't a barrier, to running or winning. So I say bring on AOC as the nominee instead of Biden!
She needs to be about a century older, white, male, sell out to corporations, and shed her sense of ethics.
Then maybe, if the GOP is running enough of a Nazi.
Corp and ethics are the big ones, otherwise you get Bernie lol
I find somehow telling that US got a black president before it get (if it even go there) a woman president
It's pretty consistent. Black men got the right to vote long before women too. The US has more deep rooted misogyny than racism, and it's got plenty of racism.
Blew my mind when I found out women couldn't have their own bank accounts in the United states until 1974.
Technically, she wasn't old enough to run until this year.
More practically, we have a center-right party and a fascist party in this country. The center-right party has a few actual leftists in it, but they tend not to gain much power.
lassie for president and larry the cat for prime minister 2024
Lassie is useless. Lassie warns others about danger AFTER it happens. Perfect politician
At least Lassie isn't the one causing the danger.
I hope...
A large chunk of the US is deeply sexist on top of other intellectual and moral failings.
This is aggravated by the right wing fighting against education, especially when it benefits the general public.
Because as president you serve 4-8 years and then become generally irrelevant. In congress you can serve for decades.
I've always wondered why this is? In our country a previous prime minister remains highly relevant and politically active until they retire, even if that is long after they were in the position. The leader of the current largest opposition party was prime minister for eight years before losing the previous election, and is set to be the opposition's front runner for PM in the next election in not too long.
Like, why didn't e.g. Obama run for a position on the senate after finishing his second term as president? He's definitely still young enough, even in countries where you don't need to be a fossil to have political power.
Soooo, a LOT of people on the right hate her… even more than Bernie.
She’s too young. Like by law. Next election she’ll be old enough to run
The age requirement applies at inauguration. AOC is old enough to run this cycle by a few months.
