You know for a second there I thought this was how I was going to find out about RFK getting shot.
Everything old is new again.
That does seem weird that independents have a whole month less than the main parties just because. Is that true or just a brain-worm thing?
If I had to guess, I'd think it's because the main two parties have a spot on the ballot that is going to be filled by SOMEONE, so it's not exactly the same... They have time to replace a candidate, but it would be inconceivable to seek to REMOVE their spot from the ballot and forfeit the state. There's a slot that is to be filled. In the case of a third party candidate it's a full expunging of not just a person, but the whole party itself. I guess if he really wanted to, he could make the case that he should be able to remove his name and substitute another candidate, but that's not the same thing.
It still sounds weird. Like how is it that in a country like the U.S. these parties can wait to choose who will be the leader of the fucking United States as far as only two months before an election? Like, should they not have planned that shit ahead of time? I know the U.S. is a shithole but it’s a shithole with a tonne of power and influence and that feels…wrong. A bit “fast and loose” with democracy, ya know?
I’m glad it meant the Dems could swap out Biden for someone with a pulse but fuck that’s weak.
There’s a chance Cheryl Hines might kill him if he keeps fooling around with young reporters and bragging about it to everyone.
Gonna have to field Dick cheney and his pheasant/lawyer shotgun to protect him, Kyle Reese style.
Whoever dies, we all win.
