Probably still, Sanders? He's getting pretty old, though, so maybe AOC would be a better choice.

Yeah I feel like this is the real answer. Maybe sanders could run with AOC as vice president and then step down if his age starts being a problem and let her take over

Luigi
even if convicted of felony, we know now is not an impediment
fewer felonies than the current president
Thatβs a very low bar though. 34, was it?
96 charges, 34 convictions so far
How is Luigi? Has anyone heard anything from him recently?
They stopped talking about him once they realised how many people were on his side.
Sometimes I wonder if he would actually be a good choice, considering he doesn't have a history in politics. And then I remember how Trump just kinda decided he was gonna be president with no political background.

AOC hands down.
Paw Patrol. They seem to have a handle on things. How many shitty human presidents have we had? How many shitty dog presidents? I rest my case.
Like every other episode involves some train crash or other perfectly avoidable catastrophe. Granted, that's maybe their nepo mayors fault (her grandpa was mayor back in the day) but they're still very complicit.
(My daughter is 2, these thoughts are all I have to get me through watching it with her)

Not to mention the right wing authoritarianism. You're not alone in noticing. The theme song is great, though.

Let's make finnster president just because it would be funny and the conservatives' heads would explode. Is she a qualified? No. Is she american? No. Would she even want to be president? Probably not. Would she still be a million times better than the current president? Definitely
Bernie, because i think he would be really really good at training his VP AOC to be president after him
The AI from the movie I, Robot. The one that Will Smith destroys. The one that wanted to protect everyone from ourselves.
I think you're thinking of VIKI from I, Robot.
A.I. Artificial Intelligence was the movie where Haley Joel Osment was a robot kid.
You're right. Corrected.

POTUS? Nobody. No single person should hold a position with such power.
No single person
High 5 maybe?
President of what? We have a prime minister
If we're talking about real life people, Bernie.
Otherwise, Papyrus from Undertale. I don't think he has a bad bone in his body!
Linus Torvalds, Richard Stallman as vice.
No. RMS can stay the fuck away. At best, heβd eat things from under our feet.
Me, assuming I have unlimited power to do as I please. I would be assassinated inside of a month, but it would be a wild month. The only president with more executive orders than me would be the person who comes after and undoes all the shit I did.
Honestly a president that was just crazy but not like evil would be so funny. Paint the whitehouse pink, make the navy wear tophats, replace the $5 bill with a $6 bill, change the national anthem to never gonna give you up

Aoc
A friend of mine whose decisionmaking I respect a lot. Good balance of logic and empathy. He would be an awesome president and hed hate me for dumping that shitton of responsibility on him. Wouldnt want to be in his shoes. Also id miss him, but its for the best.
Jon Stewart, Al Franklin, Bill Burr. Any body like that.
Jon Stewart has actively said he would never want to do that - which makes him one of the best candidates.
Anyone who whould be a good politician is smart enough to stay out of politics.
which makes him one of the best candidates.
Exactly
Here here for Bill
Bill would piss both sides off so much. I feel like everyone would hate him but things would get better.
I would love to hear Burr's "State of the fucking Union" address

Bernie, all the way. Is it too soon to say Iβd take Carter as he is now over trump?
Fucking nobody.
Just... let it be a lottery. Couldn't make it much worse.
