The system is set up to only have two options. It’s intentional. Also the VP used to be the party that lost. That’s how much it matters to vote after the parties pick a nominee.

I mean… in his place I’d probably make them think I was going to do it to see if it would change their mind.
I really don’t think that’s true. People said the same with Obama, and he really never faced that in voters, the GOP was viciously attacking him and it never stuck. There is a stage big enough, that the most vicious attackers do get lost in the crowd.
I agree no one is ever letting go of power unless they are explicitly required to do so.
It’s not in human nature to limit your own power. I’m voting for Biden, for his appointments and admin, I have nothing against him, but my experience is that no one relinquishes power. Once the office has the power, no one’s going to let it go.
You may think you’re making a fun point, but teenage girls don’t get pregnant just by showing their midriff and the occasional bra strap, typically a teenage boy is equally participating in the pregnancy. We’re pregnant make a lot more sense than She’s pregnant, and I’m just window dressing. Bobbert raised morons who couldn’t or wouldn’t wear a condom, I know a fair amount of guys my age (40s) that don’t have a single kid, it’s not impossible. They weren’t geniuses, they just wore condoms.
We’ve already had judges doing cash for prisoners, cash for kids, corruption. They don’t need all the budget to attract judges, a few prisons gets the job done.
President Carter explained exactly the situation most Americans are now starting to understand decades ago, the interviewer then asked him why the American people weren’t outraged by this. He said
‘‘They don’t know. They don’t want to know.’’
What was that thing Jesus said? Do unto others?.. the greatest commandment is to love one… give all your possessions and follow… something something… the least among you… snaps fingers Hate gay people! That’s what I’m supposed to do! Control women’s medical choices, and make sure gay people have no rights. of course!
Don’t worry, they’ll reduce women back to property, so being unmarried, unowned property will be VERY dangerous for the property.
Until convicted he’s innocent until proven guilty. No matter how insanely obvious it is that he’s guilty.
Do you mean Mary, the mother of Jesus? It really doesn’t make sense to think that, God is not presented as having sex with her in any theology, kind of contradicts the whole virgin birth claim.
Can’t stand genocide? Vote in the man who will support the genocide with enthusiasm, and try and start a genocide here to match! Good thing you didn’t vote for someone who at least feels shitty about it, then what would have happened? Pressure on Isreal to stop? No genocide in the US? That bastard!!!
He means people who can hear ‘‘the US is a democracy’’ without shitting their pants.
Yeah I remember when Biden won and like 3-6mo later the TPs on Fox and people on the street were all ‘‘Biden is so boring, wasn’t that nice when everyday Trump made a new gaff or horrifying threat against our existence? That was so fun!’’
Eugenics in is the garbage heap of history for this kind of thinking. Evolution is never ‘done’ and there are no perfect people, there is no ubermench, no Superman, and no Pinnnacle of human genetics, you could be born cut and discovering new fields of math and science by 8, then die of a congenital heart defect at 26. You can live 110 years fully functional and never develop past the intellectual benchmarks of a 7 year old. There’s no perfect. No one’s genes are ‘good’ or ‘bad’ only more typical or less typical, and typical can be a lot better than less typical in some categories, much worse in others. One of my kids started talking at 6mon. Like full on sentences. She developed very early. So it’s she a genius? She’s very smart, she hits all her benchmarks at school. But no, she’s not moving up in grades or anything, early development isn’t superior development, that’s a big misconception. What you think a perfect human is won’t match what others think. The more you learn about human biology, the more your going to learn that the statics can’t be boiled down to RPG stats. It’s millions of factors and what is good or best is entirely subjective.
It really depends on the situation some couples want the doner more involved like a godfather, or uncle. Some want it illegal for the kid to ever talk to you or meet you even if you someday decide you want to. I know s couple that brokered their situation threw a third party so the doner wouldn’t even know anything about them.
There’s still jurisdictions where you can be elected a judge and have not even a single idea about the legal system.
I’ve been married 14 years, and I have no idea. It makes it REALLY hard to break up. No one can grasp that you changed your last name. At all. Every gov offical just BAFFLED. ‘‘I’ve worked in the county clerks office for 30 years and this is the FIRST I’ve heard of people changing their last name for marriage’’. Every. Fucking. Time. If you have kids that aren’t even close to 18, and you break up, You get to be EXACTLY the same as married, but now you don’t have sex or trust eachother. But literally nothing else changes. Also if you get married in your 20s, then by 40 you get to find out in excruciating detail that ‘inner child’, ‘mid-life crisis’, and ‘familiarity breeds contempt’, aren’t just dumb things people say, they are also why you dread being around someone you stupidly legally bound yourself too in the custom of a religion nether of you is still childish enough to buy into.
I mean… it was pretty fun when we were having kids, going on trips, casually abusing Rx drugs, and having a sexual awakening after getting to 25 being painfully sexually repressed through religious abuse, but FUCK if I’m not aware of how little rope is left.
It would be a valuable teaching moment.
