Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Oh so he's a lib.
Also looks like he's a term limits guy lmao. "Yes I think there are major changes needed, but I also want to limit anyone's ability to make those changes to 2 terms."
Instead of term limits we should be able to vote once a month on whether or not to throw out our current senators/rep at state and federal levels. If they get a vote of no confidence they're barred from running for at least a year.
Like a hater threshold vote ? As I’d hate to have say “I don’t want to get rid of someone I’m neutral on” every month.
But it would give the most annoying people something to do every month.
This is assuming mail-in voting or even voting from your phone so it wouldn't be like the normal hassle. Basically, if the approval rating drops below 50%, they're out. Just thinking of ways to force politicians to do what their constituents actually want but this is America so that'll never happen lol
We need ranked choice too.
I’d also set the approval count to be “more than the total of votes for them”
As setting it as a percentage is hard. Mostly because it means people have to defend the elected official ALL THE TIME.
