That couldn't be more of a strawman even if he was with a lion, a Kansas girl and a tin man on a yellow brick road

I thought it was just a shitpost reply that came off too harsh, but they're actually a mod and have the power to ban. The anti authoritarian sub having an authoritarian mod is comical

Can a random american citizen not run as an opponent to those senators in the US? Arent those senators democratically elected?

Can you do the same for Xi Jinping? Can a random chinese citizen run for office?

Do you think those 2 things are the same?
