There are people who have been fighting against all this for decades. Don’t lump them together.

I’m a passionate hater of gas price voters. I truly hope these people get to $6 gallons again.

Pritzker. Relatively progressive. Pro union, pro building up housing, pro worker’s rights, pro higher minimum wage, unrestrained in his support of lgbtq, and yet still Measured and budget conscious, which helps him be more palatable to the big stage.

I think he’s the best possible option that still has a good chance to win.

Politely, a lot of people don’t think that way, especially communists and anarchists which are common ideologies on lemmy. They truly do think of it as end all police.

In the US, you could be ruled out of a position as sheriff if you score too high on a damn IQ test.

The sheriff is an elected position for the record. You mean police officer. Not sheriff.

Friendly reminder that south korea is a straight up oligarchy. They’re doing good in the instance, but they’re not as much better than the usa as they would like you to think

Yup. Precisely why I advocate for a hard cap on age positioned around 65 rather than any form of test.

I’m a firm believer that the only qualification for elected office should be citizenship.

I’ve never heard someone say that and I hope I never will

Dunny. I’ve mentioned it a few times. I don’t think they’re still removing them but I bet they are still suppressing them

A hobby farm is absolutely sprawl. I’m not going to go out here and say every farm is sprawl;but if your farm is just for hobby? Yeah absolutely. Though to be fair it really does depend on yields…

Nah screw that. The issue is not enough cities, and the solution is certainly not further unsustainable sprawl

They get mad at the very idea that people can work together and successfully create change, despite numerous historical examples. It’s actively immature to be wholly cynical

Every movement starts with 1 person deciding they want better.

Each of the 13 justices gets a 13 year term, each justice could serve up to two terms, consecutive or not,

Absolutely not. You NEED it to be one term, because judges should never have to rely on approval of others for their jobs. The only reason they should be able to be removed after appointment is a severe ethics violation.

too many people to vote for means no one knows anything about who they’re voting for.

I think some appointments are fine, but they should never be soley appoint able by 1 branch/person. I3, congress should be able to put forth their own cabinet options type of thing

It’s far worse than that. The judiciary is able to be fired by the executive branch and that simply should not be possible.

I feel the checks on the supreme court is close. I think with 18 year ish terms to replace 1 every every 2 years consistently would work

Some people are shit at spelling. That’s damn near ableist behavior to suggest that tbh

Because we need more housing, too. Building out mixed use multi family residential is important

If you’re in intelligence.services, security should be a priority. You can also just have phones at work.

Holy meaningless statement
