Joe Biden Circa 2024: “I don’t wanna give up this beautiful office chair in this weird oval shaped office yet, gimme 4 more years to sit on this chair… hmm what was my name again? welp, cant remember… but this chair is so nice!”
Legends say that the civilization ended during the cold war after the cuban missile crisis went hot, what you are experiencing is merely a simulation.

Becoming so rich that greeds corrupts me and becoming the villian that I always despised.
Or die.
Probably the latter tho… 😓
Statistically people with depression like me is at a higher risk of suicide so yea maybe I’d be dead. Or since I’m in the US, die due to political persecution. Basically just boils down to “die”.

Democrats getting both houses of congress is not implausable, assuming we still have elections in the future.
Packing the supreme court isnt hard, just need the democrats to find their spine. And they could just rebrand it as “Balancing The Court” for PR purposes.
Now finding the states that add up to 270 electoral votes to join the i reinstate conpact, that is the biggest hurdle, but the downballot effect should win enough state legislatures if democrats win congress. Right now we’re 77% of the way there. One reason I speculate why they remaing swing states havent joined is becauss they want to wait until theres a friendly congress and supreme court before trying, because there will be legal challenges to it. If congress and supreme court are in control, then I could see swing states quickly joining the interstate compact in rapid succession.
We can kinda get rid of it via National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.
First democrats need a majority in both houses in congress, as well as packing the court with more liberal judges.
Then have enough states with the required electoral vote threshold join the interstate compact.
Then have congress approve of it.
Then get the supreme court (now with liberal majority) uphold the interstate compact and rule that subsequent congressional sessions cannot revoke it. (Its currently implied that congressional approval of interstate compacts cannot be revoked, but has never been court tested)
Voila, you get popular vote. For as long as states dont start leaving the interstate compact. But at least you dont need 3/4th of state legislatures.

We’re watching a political thriller irl in real time. Grab your popcorns, because you wont be getting anymore popcorn when the tariffs hit.
I dont think those protest voters were significant, people just think “food didnt get cheaper” and didnt felt like voting anymore. Thats your average voter mindset.
Legal contract killing? Well if its a military contract then you get court martialed. If it’s a “I sold my soul to trump” contract, you get fired… with a bullet in the back of your skull on 5th avenue, as the senate cheers affirming that that is indeed a legal execution.
Illegal contracts are not enforceable in court. You’ll have to hire another contract killer to kill the contract-breaking contract killer.
Lol people see this be like “AAAAHHHH FUCK I TOOK ENOUGH TESTS IN SCHOOL I DONT WANNA SEE THIS AGAIN” and yeet it into a fire.
I think the less confusing alternative is a top two non partisan primary and a 1v1 general election.
Most of my fellow Americans are too stupid use understand how to fill out a ranked choice ballot.
He’s gonna try, I doubt he can convince the military to do anything to high ranking democratic officials.
Maybe if a “lower ranking” democratic congressperson like AOC do a BLM protest in Washington D.C, she might get harassed by the capitol police, but they’ll be fine. I doubt she’ll get shot.
The average civillian, however, if you still have any yard signs indicating that you support any democratic candidates, you might wanna take those down, because you might randonly get investigated for whatever trumped-up (pun intended) charges they invent. Or get a no-knock raid and ends with buller holes in your skull.
If you look “Mexican” to them, you could get deported if you don’t have your papers with you, even if you are legal, or even a citizen. (Might wanna look into getting a fireproof safe to store those documents, also keep photo backups of any documents that prove that you are here legally)
Mail in votes requires physical access to tamper with, anyone in the world can hack an internet connection and tamper with online votes.
Signing a petition is public, who you cast your vote for is private.
If there were any doubts on the signatures, officials can contact the people who signed and verify that they did sign. How do you verify a secret vote without ruining the secrecy?
I mean you can have online voting if you cast a ballot thats public, and it’d be verifiable, but then we go back to the 1800s in the US where threatening voters is a thing.
You have 3 elements:
1: Internet voting
2: Secrecy
3: Verifiable
Pick 2.
Americans are gonna swing back and forth between the major parties until elections eventually stop happening. Mark my words.
Y’all are installing malware to replace malware.

Careful with that, if she wins because of “hotness”, SCOTUS might rule that as prostitution and therefore make her ineligible.
Bruh, she is not gonna win.
I don’t mean to be a bigot when I say this, but I doubt America is willing to elect black/brown/hispanic women yet. White rage is still going strong. This country is gonna need someone who is a chistian straight white man on the top of the democraric ticket. A younger Bernie. I feel disgusted to say this but it’s what has to be done to save democracy in the US.
You know, as an Asian American, I would like to see someone like Andrew Yang to become president, you know what I mean. He’s decent guy. But like thats so unrealistic in this country. Sometimes you just gotta accept this harsh reality.
Unless you find someone like Obama. Well even then, honestly I doubt someone like Obama could even win in today’s political climate.
I feel like this just leads to “trans-vestigations” people would accuse you of being a man, even if you are a cisgender woman, if you act slightly “odd” to them.
