New/old idea:

If you're POTUS, and you get voted out of office, you should not be able to run again.

Alternately:

If you lose a main election race, you are ineligible to run again.

I think it would force parties to constantly find new and interesting voices.

I ask this every now and then and I’ve yet to get a good answer.

How long does it take for people to realize they’re on the wrong side of history?

The world would be a better place if someone could time travel and put a stop to Vance. That stupid fucking book.

And now, he's been enjoying a bukakke firehose of propaganda for so long he believes all of his BS. Fully drowning in the kool-aid.

Fuck that guy.
WATTERS: Have you been watching this New York Mayor Mamdani guy?

JD VANCE: Heh heh heh. The guy who wants to take all property away from white people?

Of course, there's been no indoor safe way since 2019, but he'd never admit that.
Oz: "Alcohol is a social lubricant that brings people together. In the best case scenario, I don't think you should drink alcohol, but it does allow people an excuse to bond and socialize and there's probably nothing healthier than having a good time with friends in a safe way."

My wife would attest that there was no rescue whatsoever.

If a Democrat isn’t clearly stating that corporate greed s a problem, they deserve to be primaried and voted out.

That is the fight right now.
