  • My grandpa is a classical everything-phobic NRA republican, but he has one idea that has elements I kinda like. He thinks the president should be chosen at random from among voting age adults, and that when they’re done with their term they should be paid handsomely by the government and be barred from lobbying jobs for life. I’d be terrified of the kinds of people that could hand executive orders and nuclear launch codes to, but i agree with you and him that retiring politicians shouldn’t be allowed to pivot straight into lobbying and other private sector sources of political influence. I kinda think the ban should be longer than five years, if not for life, but idk there could be some good in lifting it after a time that I’m not thinking of







  • Idk what this comment said, but considering how hard that tankie mod is scrambling to delete it and all other evidence that people here don’t like Russia I’m gonna say I wholeheartedly agree and will do anything I can to help :3

    Edit: not if the original comment was racist garbage towards Russian civilians or anything ofc, I don’t know what most of the deleted stuff said and I wasn’t super generous earlier assuming the comments deleted were just critical of the Russian government or that the mod had a pro Russia bias. I wouldn’t blame that user for saying racist things about Russians if they were Ukrainian, I would understand it even if I don’t think it’s very helpful, but people not directly screwed by Russia posting that degree of hateful stuff about their citizens is just wrong imo
