theradicalchildI think this is a fitting video for today given Inauguration Day.
Let's see...
Acquiesces to disorder (all that Woke bullshit)...
Lies to the people...
Supports treachery (sending money all across the world, to Hamas and the Taliban, what the fuck, all the undocumented immigrants)...
Definitely sounds like the Biden administration.
"It was the Republic(ans)!"
Heh.
Here's the German version:
He definitely has that "rejected from art school" vibe. I bet this scared the shit out of German theatergoers.
As I said, I voted write-in for Cornell West since I don't like America's two-party duopoly (Bobby Jr. wasn't on the ballot in Texas), but Kamala would still be the last person I'd vote for in a ranked voting system, and I agree with Trump on a lot of shit in a political case of Jerkass Has a Point. Plus, he has Bobby Jr. on his side, so the friend of my friend is my friend I suppose.
I don't mind being ruled by a convicted felon (though all that shit was witch-hunts against him, plain and simple, as they were in his first presidency, and I know the Dems were just trying to get back for all the crap done to Clinton), since Jesus was one as well.
Ideally, I'd love a combination of Switzerland and Germany's political systems.
A Federal Council instead of a Federal President. Keep the Electoral College, but it's not winner-takes-all, and there's also a ranked voting system, and it determines the makeup of the Council. The winner of the most votes becomes "president" (but still has the title of Councilor), and the runner-up becomes "vice president," and still casts the tie-breaking vote in the Senate (and I would prefer Senators be appointed by states instead of directly elected as they once were). The other seats are allocated based on the votes. Seven seats would be ideal. For instance, in 2016, Hillary would still be "vice president," and Jill Stein would have a seat since she helped Trump win. In the recent election the makeup of the Council would be four Republicans and three Democrats given how the Electoral College went. And the Council is not named based on the "president" (i.e. the First Federal Council, the Second Federal Council, etc.).
As for the legislature, I would prefer a parliamentary system where voters vote for whichever party they want to represent them in the lower chamber, and seats are allocated based on that (and AI could draw districts or something), and the lower chamber gets a Chancellor based on whichever party won the most (but the Chancellor is not a Member of Parliament themself), and if they don't have a majority of seats, they have to form coalitions with the other parties to secure a majority. Same for the Senate, but the "vice president" of the Council still heads it.
I don't like personality cults in politics, and even Karl Marx opposed that shit.
A pipe dream, but whatever.
