If you're a millennial, some already are.

Weird how he's done the exact opposite of that for the past 20 years

Because those people don't have a basic understanding of how the 3 branches of government actually work.

If I'm elected to congress I'll work towards passing a law mandating all licensed broadcasters run 24 hour marathons of School House Rock and other "USA civics edutainment for children" shows on a set date every year.

Next you're going to tell me that that not only does humanity already have trains that can do 200mph (320 km/h): but they're more reliable, safer, cheaper to build/operate, and can can carry a ton of people per trip.

Psh, like that would ever work.

I mean ... he does. He's not as bad as he's made out to be on most domestic issues, keeping in mind the limited power of the presidency and the fact congress holds the majority of the power. But he's too fucking old. He's made mistakes, and handling Israel with kid gloves is a problem.

I'm still voting for him because:

  • The alternative is a fascist takeover of the government
  • It gives us 4 years to push for change, elect leftists, and organize in an environment where were fascists don't hold overwhelming power.
  • In 4 years he'll fucking leave office on his own accord. Donald Trump (or his stand-in) absolutely won't.

They’re not supposed to be rear-facing headlights.

Blindly backing up in the dark is how you hit/run over things. Back up lights are supposed to provide enough light so you can see where you're going.

The sample for "kids dance party" wasn't something I ever thought I'd hear again.

Even if there were no bots and it was only "real" content from Threads ... is that the sort of content we want to have Lemmy flooded with?
