The only politician that ik was evil was John Adam's and that's cause of Hamilton

What's funny is Adams is always lambasted for his Presidency but tbh I think he and Benjamin Franklin are the two most important people in those early Continental Congresses.

Doesn't really solve any issue of rich people and corporations still having more power in elections but it takes away some of the secrecy, idk still not a big fan tho

 

[Barry Poppins]

I highly recommend people watch the HBO series Adams.

It's so fucking good

My dad tends to think Tom Brady will run for president someday

I've always been fascinated to see what an Alexander Hamilton Presidency would have looked like

@Jacob Fox conceptual question. My local government had a provision this election to raise term limits from 2 to 3, but it was worded as if they were adding term limits for the first time, not as if they were raising them. Knowing what it was actually doing, would you have voted yes to 3 or no. Also fwiw the Texas supreme Court might already be reviewing if it can stand if it passes bc of the wording

I think The Rock will

 

[Chris]

Wondering bc it's still a limit but a higher one and bc they were sketchy about it

 

[Chris]

Id really prefer we move away from celebrities running as president for the most part lol

I agree

 

[Barry Poppins]

Celebrities need to stay the fuck away from running for politics because they always largely end in disaster.

@Chris that is an interesting question. I probably would have voted to raise it because I always research elections I can vote on before hand. So if I knew it was 2 already, I would have voted yes. If I was misinformed and DIDN'T know it was already limited, I would have voted no
