What a chud post.

NLG OP is kind of the cancer we all wished stayed on reddit.

You offended little yappy pup?

Nah you got offended

you sure do

My brother in christ. I disrespect conservatives, libertarians, and anarchists equally.

Updoots = truth is much sillier but keep yappin puppy.

Either way you clearly took offense and no amount of reddit dunks will hide that

So a quick distinction might be that libertarians want a minimal state while anarchists want no state.

Aka house cats and yappy dogs.

And I know that’s apt because it pisses lemmy off

conservatives who smoke too much weed

Seriously libertarians are the civic equivalent of not knowing how potato chips are made.

Libertarians are house cats. Anarchists are yappy little dogs.

edit: How I know this is an apt analogy is cuz it pisses lemmy off

Yea holy shit I’d assumed it would cost more. Gonna need a better analogy.

edit; Tho you do need special containers for jet fuel that I’d assume cost more than an aluminum can haha

Pot is rarely laced.

edit: Be like selling red bull at jet fuel prices

doesn’t make fiscal sense.

Totally. The difference between generations is cultural not time based.

Millennials are old enough remember where they were on 9/11. Similar to GenX and the Challenger explosion in 86. Not sure what the zoomer equivalent is -maybe Obama? For Gen alpha it’ll be remembering the pandemic starting.

Millenials can’t remember life before wireless communication.

Zoomer’s can’t remember life before the internet.

Alpha can’t remember a time before smart phones.

Gen Beta wont remember a time before AI (shudders)

Not sure about boomers/genx… probably something about the vietnam war or colour tv.

Few things with the car analogy. You don’t purchase a car for a term. Even tho they come with a warranty. Cars have manufacturing standards, as do the regions they are legal to operate in; the existence of these standards is what substantiates lemon and bait and switch laws.

You’re forgetting impeachment. If someone commits crimes they can be impeached - and has been done despite recent top of mind events.

This is the same argument that has kept senators in congress for decades with no term limits.

You’re conflating changing people mid term with changing people at their regular term intervals. As an American you rarely experience elections outside their scheduled interval. As a Canadian I can assure you that elections do interrupt things especially when you have to go to the polls repeatedly. We had federal elections 2 years apart in 2019/2021 and it was largely a pointless expense that served only to reset the governments 5 year window to call the next election.

Also the new guy being worse is a bit of a “whataboutism”

No its not. Whataboutism is pointing the finger at someone else to deflect. Logically if we elected someone who is doing such a bad job that we need to recall them, it is possible we could do that again.

A higher barrier to recall would help the constant switching

I think thats the case. I’m Canadian and recall elections are possible for anyone given the constituants follow a multi step process leading to a recall vote.

AKA the carrot not the stick

1. Because that’s what terms are for. You elect people for a term.

2. Elections cost taxpayer money. Every single district potentially have an election at anytime would necessitate a significant contingency fund in any budget.

3. Changing leadership interrupts things with no guarantees. What if the new guy is even worse? What’s the limit on recalls per term?

Not saying recall elections shouldn’t exist, but having a shit representative is in fact your incentive to go out and vote for the right person in the first place.

Fetterman is just proof that brain damage makes people conservative.

This (googles estradiol valerate) …GAL knows whats up.

I mean it’s literally as simple as claiming your trans. Trump was legit pissed at Hegsath cuz somehow Trump is smarter than him and knew people would do that if Hegsath banned trans people from the military.

IMO if the French had done to Marie Antionette what the Romans did to Jesus, there would be no billionaires today.

I don’t know how you misread this so thoroughly but congratulations.

I’m suggesting the french should have crucified the rich instead of cutting their heads off.
