Democrats

I keep getting mail from The Democratic Party with messages like we need you back, we need your support, you’re missed etc.

I actually spent almost an hour in the phone for a live listen and chime in with a congressman/representative and the attorney general. About blocking some Trump policies and addressing a lot of ice fears. I was surprised with the text and verified the number as I called in.

I might try the online. But reaching out by phone by actually calling sometimes and leaving recorded messages that weren’t spam really left an impression on me. I’m glad I finally responded and trusted the source.

I met a city mayor at an event as well.

Putin and Elon would have passed and excelled that test. Together with many other sociopaths and egomaniacs.

This would be more plausible, if all people would have the same fair access to achieve the required education level - presumed they have the needed intelligence of course. AND, if another required test involves emotional intelligence, ethical behaviour and professional experience. I also think a minimum age should be required to guarantee a certain life and work experience and to prevent professional politicians.

So far, Newsom has the highest homeless rate in America.

Make America like California 2028 :united_states:

Nothing wrong or necessarily good with professional politicians. Don’t like them don’t invite them.

I disagree. Politics should be a short-term public service, taking a brief period of a person’s life (no more than four years), and then returning to his/her normal career. It should also be paid at minimum wage and should be totally anonymous.

MAGA is definitely afraid of Newsom. So is Trump.

Hawaii has a higher homeless rate than California. Do does New York.

What news source are you drawing from?

I bet you’re right since I was just exaggerating the obvious.

Totally ridiculous idea utter non starter.

You and your wife have a good weekend.

I agree it’s a non starter. Nobody would ever accept it. I still think it would be better.

I think bad idea. Anonymous political leadership ???! Very bad idea. No accountability. No chance for praise or condemnation.

Untrue. There’s still total accountability. If you do a crime, you go to jail. The real key is getting the entertainers and attention whores out of politics. Right now we have a bunch of celebrity politicians with no credible qualifications governing us. They get a dopamine fix from having idiots tell them they’re great (which succinctly describes the entire MAGA movement). Anonymous leadership at minimum wage would almost guarantee altruistic leadership. It doesn’t automatically mean good leadership, but the motives would be altruistic.

$1 a day men and women running things.

No, we get people who have made a little bit of cash in their lives and don’t need a salary to live on. And they don’t get any fame or goodwill because they’re anonymous so they do it because they honestly want to make a difference.

Slick move bringing them over to the right

Don’t waste your breath I sent more money your way than this guy ever did. EVER AND I NEVER HAD THAT MUCH.

Glad they demonstrated against him.

Of course you never had much money your too lazy to work a dishonest chronic liar and a gluttonous pig who wastes what little ducats you have on beauty products normally used by females.

Looks like NH is a small burden. Federal income tax and redistribution is socialism. It’s generally the red states that are the burden. Imagine if we didn’t have that socialism.
