There have been 45 men who have been president. Currently only four of them are alive. One is a Republican. One is senile and was wildly unpopular. The other is a sex pest. These people are not serious.
I'm a local government employee paid five figures a year and not only do I legally have to listen to public comments at every meeting we have, my emails, texts and chat messages are searchable by anyone who wants them. Political figures by definition work FOR us, they are not sacred cows
You're telling me that government officials are accountable to their constituents and politics is more complicated and nuanced than "shut up and either pick team blue or team red."
I remember. A few Very Serious People were writing puff pieces and interviews about how the Clintons were going to be the new Kennedys or something. Then Hilary lost the primaries and Chelsea just sort of fell off the boat and never developed a following.
google is trash now, but it seems that as recently as 2019 there was a faction still trying to put her in congress. but back during obama’s term, the clintonists were talking about their permanent presidency of hillary next, then chelsea, etc
Some low level former representative that no one cares about who is now in a private non lobbyist position, fine whatever. But every former president has to serve a lifetime of penance for being the leader of this sick country. They absolutely fucking owe us this
we need to bring a tlaxcalan republic vibe to things - would-be leaders should be intentionally subjected to harsh and routine public ridicule and scorn, forced to give up their worldly possession, etc etc
They’re the same people who think that republicans wear black hats, democrats wear white hats and that’s all you need to know about politics. It’s the kind of lazy thinking that got us where we are today.
