Glitch McConnell bricks himself.
Did he come with a warranty? He seems to have stopped working
Does this mean he will be the next us president? I mean, they elected Trump, why not this guy next?
That was an absent seizure or a stroke.
There is such a thing as too much dramatic pause, as it turns out.
Somehow this guy at his 81 years makes the President (80) and his main rival (77) look vital by comparison. It’s a shame the more youthful progressive candidate (81) is bound to be sidelined. And that politics are derailed by a majority evil, deeply corrupt supreme court, as illustrated by the recent adventures of one of its members (75).
Thomas Jefferson, who was 33 years old when he signed the constitution, said Constitutions should be rewritten every 19 years. Every generation had the right to their own rules, he claimed.
The Constitution is now 234 years old. That’s almost three times as old as McConnell.
At least it looks like you guys might be getting rid of one of them soon. But I’m not sure that’s going to solve the age problem of American politics.
Man if the American constitution was rewritten every 19 years, or at least easier (but not too easy) to amend, they would be somewhere else
It’s a fun contrast to see in the light of Constitutional Originalists, who maintain that the Constitution should be interpreted according to the intention at the time it was written rather than being interpreted as a living document.
By their own argument, the intention of its authors was that it shouldn’t be taken so god damn literally hundreds of years later.
On the positive side, turnout among people aged 18-24 was the highest it had been since the early 70s in 2020, despite the candidates arguably not being the most relatable for that age group.
It’s still obvious that this is a problem though - turnout among people 45+ has been above average at least since the 60s, and the 65+ group has seen the highest turnout of any group for more than three decades now.
