Yes, because they then have to come up with all new branding. Corporations can stop it by registering trademarks. But political speech can't be trademarked. Confusing the brand forces politicians to run on ideas rather than the popular brand.
As part of the LGBTQ+ community, if Trump and Republicans get control I'm sure I'd eventually be wearing a MAGA hat that stands for Make America Gay Again.
I’d actually be in favor of mandatory drug tests before debates. Wanna keep that war on drugs going? Put your money where your mouth is, and show us you’re not hopped up on Adderall for your debates.
I'm only half joking, you need some kind of vigor or spirit to sustain you, and it seems like bitterness is a certain type of vigor that works for the criterion.
The joke is that Gen X is getting skipped over. the next pres is either going to be a millenial or a boomer, but not gen x- who has never had a president.
A Gen-X mentor of mine, once said "the worst lie we've ever been told is that if we work hard, then one day we get to be the CEO's and leaders. And then they never retired."
As a millenial, I am 100% on board with skipping right over us, too, and getting a Gen Zer in there. They have the most to lose if the climate crisis continues and therefore I trust them the most to actually push to do something about it. In fact, let's just fill the entire government with Gen Zers.
i want the right candidates. I think, most of the current crop of politicians are far from that.
we need to jump in fresh blood- we're where we're at because of politicians that have been there for forty, fifty years now, and it's gone past stagnant into rancid.
When I was growing up, the big fears of Gen X were another ice age, over-population, nuclear war, and quicksand.
So I'm not sure what Gen X has to offer. But we're here if you need us - like if global warming causes a quicksand crisis. Otherwise we're just gonna keep doing our own thing.
I doubt the DNC would allow anything of the sort. A 35 year old might build momentum backed by popular support, but as usuall DNC will sabotage them in favor of some unlikable 60+ moderate that they consider "more electable"
I keep thinking there’s no way the top brass of the GOP and the DNC will be around next time, and we’ll really be able to fix shit then. I’m always wrong, but Joe, Mitch, and Trump all see to be showing their age more than usual for my lifetime(I was too young to remember Reagan’s Alzheimer’s), Nancy might still be around but she seems to be at least kinda taking a step back.
