I 100% believe this.

I hate that this is true, plus he’s already said he would “take the best of the left and the best of the right” as some nonsense enlightened centrist candidate…

ryannathans ,

What’s wrong with that?

It’s centrist nonsense, if someone says a waterfall flows downstream and someone else says the waterfall flows upstream, that doesn’t mean the waterfall is stagnant, or that the person who said it flows upstream has a good point.

The left and right aren’t arbitrary collections of disorganized and incoherent positions you can combine ad-hoc.

SchmidtGenetics ,

Your comment makes it seem like there can only be two sides, that’s the entire issue with the US democracy from an outsider, where’s the other parties? Why only two, and why are you defending that there should be only two on divided lines?

supertrucker ,

Forget packing, to get 100 justices in there, you’ll need crowbar and and a 55 gallon drum of asteoglide

Rhynoplaz ,

Meh, could do worse.

fossilesque ,

I’ll take an effective altruist, even though they’re quite shit, over the current lot of lizard people politicians.

brucethemoose ,

I really wonder what would happen if, say, Taylor Swift or MrBeast actually ran for president.

Who could compete with that? You can say the parties would try to oust them, but look how that worked out for Trump, and he had far less name recognition back then.

I would love to think that people wouldn’t just vote based on who they recognize most from TV but here we are

Phoenix3875 ,

Well, that already happened for Reagan and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Kyrgizion ,

At least one of those two was actually competent at his job.

dubyakay ,

Schwarzi?

Dudewitbow ,

the advtage they have is that they wouldnt be able to be easily be influenced by money, because well, they have a lot already. it would probably be the main reason why neither poltical party would want them to run, because they wouldnt be able to be controlled as easily. a lot of powerful people would not want a populist to gain control.

kautau ,

More likely though, they would just pass the reigns after a day or a week or something. Being a President is exhausting, your daily schedule is constantly meeting and travelling nearly all the time. Even the presidents who would go golfing and the like were signing off on stuff and answering urgent phone calls.

Arbiter ,

You would think that, but there is never “enough” money for the wealthy.

pennomi ,

Rich people are counterintuitively more susceptible to bribery.

SnotFlickerman ,

We missed our chance to put Myspace Tom into office.

You gotta go with the people who don’t want the job. Should have forced him in before he took the money and ran.

expatriado ,

for a little while he was my only friend

Phegan ,

When did he unfriend you?

expatriado ,

he sold our friendship for $580 million and never heard of him again

Hackworth ,

Claude for President
