and imo, if I was Musk, I'd start just posting stats about VPN usage from Brazil-->Twitter
politics
Friday, August 30, 2024
going up by 2000%
and just pin that stat to fuck with the Brazilian President
"He Brazil, 1.2M people accessed Twitter from your contry today, stay mad"
your profile isn't linked to you though
what are they going to do other than seethe about it
Brazil also doesn't control 2/5th of its own country
Dude I'd love that
I'd actually go out and vote
just to vote for him
huh, we have a 500% higher vote turnout and this dude won in a landslide, anyways kamala wins
I mean, the reason is they already printed them
or something
and do not want to redo it
I swear, normie conservatives are fucking retarded
and wtf does this retard mean they "won't count"
nigger
you can write in ANYONE YOU FUCKING WANT
and it counts
and I sort of agree not taking him off
because 1M people or however many signed a petition to put his name on the ballot
the concept of being drafted for the presidency is an archaic thing, but it was plausibly real at a point in history
it wasn't 1M, it's 0.25% of the state's registered voter count
I actually though it was higher
~20k people
that seems too low imo
in my head, I was kind of going along with "yeah, if X number of people sign a petition for your name to be on the ballot, it should probably be on the ballot"
you have to remember back in the olden times, people didn't really want to be president
so the notion that you could draft somebody, they wouldn't campaign, but their surrogates would
and they'd either accept it or not
political parties kind of stepped in though, and made sure if you drafted someone, they "accepted" it before the actual election
I agree though, it's not really real now
I just don't think it matters
100%
I do think the normie republican reaction is stupider though
"OMG VOTER COLLUSION!!! IT'S RIGGED!"
you know, I thought about it more Rusp
I agree with you fully now
the concept of drafting is literally retarded
in the modern era
you could just absolutely troll
20k, and draft EVERY SINGLE member of congress to the ballot
because historically it worked
but uh
yeah shits too fucked now for it to work
you have to understand, presidents 4-15 all absolutely didn't want to be president
America was also a complete shithole then, and it ruined most of their lives spending 4 or 8 years doing it
I think we should have a state try the rng approach
just to see if it works
