  • I think most elections would have been as if a Kamala Harris ran against another Kamala Harris. In other words, two normal politicians so that the result wasn’t perceived as much of a difference who one. Also, in the past if a politician said things like, “you won’t have to vote again” or called the opponent names, he would have been shredded in the media and probably lost the election due to scandal. I mean a felon has never run for president before. Trump just somehow has different rules.






  • Yup should be fine without a few of these pesky news agencies around anymore or a few of his political rivals or you know, NOAA and a department of education. I’m sure it will be fine and 50,000 government employees won’t be replaced by loyalists. Corporations aren’t really paying taxes now anyway, why would a little less matter. Removing protections for minorities won’t make a difference either or getting out of NATO. And what a relief not to have to vote anymore. Cozying up to every dictator in the world and paying 10% more for everything will be just like any other election.

    I think we’re good. Easy Street baby!










  • Absolutely, but there are a few problems with this. First, I live in the US. Americans do NOT know how to negotiate a roundabout. There is a roundabout near my house. The instructions of how to use it are posted on signs as you approach. They are wrong. They actually have inside lanes exiting across the outside lanes that can continue around. So not only is it wrong but it’s teaching the locals here what NOT to do at a normal roundabout.

    Second, they don’t fit at existing intersections.

    Third, I think they would be more expensive than just a piece of tech attached to traffic lights that already exist.

    I mean the best solution would be some good public transportation, but I’m trying to be more realistic here. That’s for more civilized nations. In the US the car rules. And the bigger, the better.

    Voting him out will not remove him from your feed. You will hear about how the election was stolen again. About how his disciples tried to destroy the capitol or the white house or whatever, again. You will hear about how he was out on trial again. You will hear about whatever new crap he comes up with.
