Have you considered running for President... of the USA?

[lightbulb27]

There was a time this honor was reserved for the "elite". Not anymore. You've seen our recent elected officials.. cmon. And who cares if you win or not?

Entrance fee is minimal. All you need is a youtube channel and a website. There's nothing stopping you. You only live once!

Need money..."Go fund me"? Talk to your relatives too

If you feel bad about the probability of losing, just realize... Donald Trump LOST! Jimmy Carter... LOST!! Pretty much everyone that ever ran LOST! You are in good company.

What would your greatest achievements be, should you achieve your goal?

* Mine would be lowering the cost of the government, you'll have never seen such penny pinching.

Never occurred to me, gonna think about it

Heck yea. why not?

No, I think I'd do a worse job

No, don't have the time or don't qualify

I am the President... didn't know I was out here, did ya?

[WhiteSteve]

Hell no. I’ve come to realize we’re a bad country populated by bad people with bad values and bad priorities. I couldn’t save these assholes if I tried. Seriously wondering where I’m going to live out the rest of my life, because it just can’t be here. Most of these people make me sick to even have my good name associated with them.

[loveslongnails]

Portugal is where I'm going.

[lightbulb27]

@loveslongnails been there, I was impressed with what I saw. if I was young and adventerous, I'd go there as well. of all places I've been overseas, looked like the best place to be young and find a successful mate. there may be other places, my travels have been limited.

[Sunssong]

No one else is responsible for how you feel. You are responsible for your thoughts, feelings, and actions.

[loveslongnails]

@Sunssong Relevance, grasshopper?

[ManOnFire]

@WhiteSteve Dude, I've been having the same feelings too for a few years now.

[CB-Raido-Time]

Revelation 18 4And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. 5For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. 6Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. 7How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. 8Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.

[loveslongnails]

@CB-Raido-Time Do you have a point, or are you just showing that you can cut and paste from Revelations?

[CB-Raido-Time]

@loveslongnails Yes the vaers system.

[NamerOfStars]

I'm not old enough. If I was, though... Ehh, still probably not. See, I'd argue that it being "elite" people that it was reserved for is part of the problem. Aside from Trump, the last political outsider we had was Carter, and look how THAT went.

Also, I don't have a colorful enough history, so my opponents will have to go with stuff that's totally inconsequential even by electoral standards, and I'll probably sustain serious injuries from rolling my eyes too hard, then counter with even stupider allegations, like that my opponent plans to travel through time to sell nuclear secrets to dinosaurs ("proven" by an illustration drawn by a kindergartner). That would definitely appeal to some people, but not enough of them.

Which is just as well, as I'd probably end up nuking Congress, anyway.

[Agape93]

Nope. I won't get elected for one, two I like my privacy and free agency and lastly, you really don't want me in power.

[lightbulb27]

I agree with you:) enjoy the fruits of freedom, or what freedom you have.

[Agape93]

I absolutely will. Nobody speaks for me, I am my sole arbiter. I don't care if you're a hobo, a bodyguard or a fed.

[BrookeS]

Nope, dont need the persure of everyone telling me in fucking up. I get that enough from my parents

[lightbulb27]

agree. sorry to hear that, you maybe are a sensitive person and your parents need some training on how to coach their kids. I pray your situation gets better.

[BrookeS]

Thank you, i am not sensitive person, they just dont like how i never finshed grade 12

[BrookeS]

@lightbulb27:) :)

[lightbulb27]

can't blame them for that. question is if you have the drive to do something else, like you have an entreprenueral mind... or ability to catch a successful man and stay at home wife/mom. otherwise, whats the plan for life?

[ManOnFire]

@brookes Aw man, that's rough.

[red324]

You're not old enough. You have to be at least 35

[OlderAndWiser]

I understand the position is currently vacant.

[lightbulb27]

that's a good laugh...:)

[exitseven]

I was going to run for State Rep in my town. The guy that was in there was a Democrat and was really not the sharpest knife in the drawer. I spoke to another State Rep that I had met an discussed it with him. I was getting ready to take out papers when my state rep drowned in his pool. His wife ended up finishing his term but I didn't want to be known as the guy that ran against a dead guy's wife.

[Sparkie460]

Hey, wanna be my vice president?

[exitseven]

@Sparkie460 YES, sign me up.

[lightbulb27]

if the wife can step in, I wonder how hard it really is?
that said, I met my state rep, I don't want his job, not right now. he's good at it and it's not easy to me.

[Sparkie460]

Let's replace everyone in government

[exitseven]

The guy that ended up running ended up doing a good job. I talked to him once and he seemed like a good guy.

[gorydetails]

Who would want to be dragged through the mud because they farted on a teacher in 3rd grade? Unless you're like Biden who has a whole money laundering scheme in place already so the power helps you secure more bucks, there's really no upside to being President.

[lightbulb27]

exactly right... no wonder people don't run, and it's worse than ever.
The easy solution is to make a long list of everything you ever did wrong and post it on wiki. if they vote for you, it's their problem.

[PolkSallad]

I've said many times that Trump shouldn't run. America doesn't deserve him. America deserves a tard that wen to Ireland, and forgot he went to Ireland.

[Anonymous]

I would literally take every single issue (fiscal, social and international) and meet it in the middle and split the difference. I would be the most lukewarm president in the world.

Sounds boring af right? Well every single president has gotten more and more and more radical over the past few decades. He pendulum as swung so far it’s starting to spin in circles. It needs to STOP.

I would also jail all self avowed radicals on both sides. No more complaining about proud boys while saying “antifa is just an ideology”. No more saying “Qanon are fine people”.

[Vegasrunner]

The presidency still reserved for the elite. Difference is society has dumbed down and people have a false sense of connection where a HS drop out receives a DM from a multi millionaire and thinks they are now on the same level. Never been a president in history of US who didn't have an impeccable 1% type resume. Which just live in a time where people who have accomplished less have more platforms to complain about their life failures.

[Sparkie460]

Yes I'll run and I'd appreciate your support. Lmao.

Honestly, it's enough stress running my business. I can imagine the stress running the country when you don't have strings controlling your every move

[lightbulb27]

do it, you only live once sparkie!
Agree, can you imagine when ya PO someone and they decide to audit your ever document and every word back to grade school? You remember the time you pulled that girls hair right? lol...
not worth it...

[najekim]

Actually, I think the form we have now for electing a president is hugely biased and outdated.

I purpose that we should keep the voting for House of Representatives and Senators the same but with a 12 year lifetime max servitude and all party candidates have equal footing. No top percentage at the polls and no minimum funding limits. Ideally, limit the Democrats and Republicans to 33% of the seats max.

However, for POTUS and VPOTUS, I would like to see a lottery established which everyone that meets Constitutional requirements for either office are eligible for being selected for either office. A random verifiable Social Security Number is pulled by a computer algorithm and that person becomes POTUS or VPOTUS. If the person declines, another random SSN is then pulled until someone accepts. This way, no political parties are involved at all, no having to put up with lame presidential debates or commercials or millions of dollars wasted. Everyone has an equal chance.

[jshm2]

Nah, not least because my first Executive Order would be to nuke the place.

[lightbulb27]

yikes

[Mimi_758]

I actually thought about it but ik it will never happen It's so much stress etc

[lightbulb27]

you are too young, but could be vp. agree, looks like a ton of stess.

[Mimi_758]

yea maybe but it will never happened and yea by what i see it looks like hella stress

[lightbulb27]

we'll, if you play your cards right, you could marry Tiger Woods, he could become President and install you has VP.. then accidentlaly kill him off with a 1 iron, and seize power! Wallah!

[lightbulb27]

I apologize, I've had too much Indian food.. I'm 'batty' tonight.

[Mimi_758]

😂😂 MashALLAH not a bad plan

[Mimi_758]

Ohh hahaha nice nice

[ShadezMcgee]

Thought about it, but a couple of things.

1.) Still too young as I would need to be 35.

2.) Why do a job for 4 years and destroy your mental and physical health for a country where half or just over half of the population will hate your guts for trying to do the best for everyone?

In short, no.

[BCA6010]

I have no interest in elected office of any kind, particularly not at the federal level.

I want to actually do stuff and be productive rather than simply being an actor pretending to produce results. It's exceedingly hard to do that at the state level let alone federal.

[mommymommymommy]

I turn 35, in an election year, next year. I was born here and am a resident. I have no political experience. Should I run anyway?

[lightbulb27]

I believe you qualify. why not, get some promotion at minimum.

[mommymommymommy]

You serious bro?

[lightbulb27]

why not? make a web site, maybeget a few votes. if you want it, go for it. Ghandi got the job done too!

[mommymommymommy]

Yeah, as a protest

[Anonymous]

Never thought about it but it’s been proven you don’t need any qualifications. Why not? Then again, a President’s power is mainly regulatory and you can’t change much on your own. I’d probably get frustrated rather quickly.

[Anonymous]

No matter how bad a president I was I could take comfort in knowing it would be impossible to be worse than DJT.

[lightbulb27]

fair enough. I don't agree with that though... could be much much worse...

[Katrina79]

No it ages people. Obama he was in his 50s he aged fast. No matter what you do get crapped.

[lightbulb27]

Agree, have to be able to make endless decisions, argue constantly, and take criticism. not fun for most.

[loveslongnails]

F) No freaking way! I don't want that shitty job.

[lightbulb27]

that's the problem, it looks like an awful job.

[Jamie05rhs]

No. I wouldn't be a good President. I wouldn't be able to handle all of the responsibility.

I could be the CEO of a company. But not the leader of an entire country.

[Wild_princess]

Well, i am not American... but i wish you get a good president this time

[LiamJHayden]

lol I'm more libertarian than the Libertarian Party candidates. I'd be lucky to break 0.5% in this nation. Too many people love big government.

[Anonymous]

If I was super rich I would. That's the only way you're gonna win
