Current Events > As president, I would make real change in America.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I would legalize cannabis for all Americans. I would be pro-union. I would allocate more funding to public education. I would cut all foreign aid, and put that money into programs to solve homelessness. I would tax corporate giants like Amazon, Walmart, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft. I would close tax loopholes for billionaires. Also, we would stand as a nation and recite the pledge of allegiance every day at 10am.

It's important to instill patriotism into our citizens.

He made American cars great again. But he will still have to pay taxes under my presidency.

Make the country worth liking and you won't have to try and force patriotism like republicans do.

You wouldn't do a damn thing.
Entrenched power would stifle you at every turn until you did what they wanted.

Also Id make my ex girlfriend love me again

The grass is greener where you water it. We will all work together to make America the greatest country on Earth. We will fix our education crisis and become a world leader in education.

I'm an Army veteran who wouldn't take any BS. I would walk into the senate during an attempted filibuster, slam the senator's head onto the podium, and shut it down. Then I would say "There will no more filibusters! There will be no more BS! You will work for the good of the nation instead of working to line your own pockets!"

Just avoid doing parades inside an open roof car.

I imagine some preseidents go in with good intentions (Maybe Obama?) But once youre there youre a puppet to the people who financed your campaign.

Cool. Can we get the republicans to stop pissing on the grass and burning the vegetation?

Why are you obligated to listen to Super PACs once you win?

You believe that Republicans are solely responsible for the mess we're in now? It's both sides. Biden has been president for 3 years, and what good has he done?

It's both sides.

Cause they want their support for reelection. IMO this is the biggest culprit of politic corruption.

You didn't answer my question. We've had a Democrat as president for 3 years. What good has he done?

Well, we have to end apartheid for one and slow down the nuclear arms race, stop terrorism and world hunger. We have to provide food and shelter for the homeless and oppose racial discrimination and promote civil rights while also promoting equal rights for women. We have to encourage a return to traditional moral values. Most importantly, we have to promote general social concern and less materialism in young people.

No, I'm not. Here's my voting record:

2008: Barack Obama
2012: No vote
2016: No vote
2020: Joe Biden

This is some fascist shit tbh. Like North Korea/Russia stuff

The problem isn't both sides. It's the one side that both parties support

neoliberal capitalism

Will one of your campaign slogans be that you're an alpha of the highest caliber?

Americans should be proud to be an American every morning. There's nothing wrong with that.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

No joke. But we would remove "Under God" to make it secular, so it would go

"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic, for which it stands, one Nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

Also, you do what the rich want, and by extension what the status quo parties want.

If you don't, the capitalists just initiate a capital strike, throwing your economy into a tailspin until you capitulate or the public votes you out, because you're the president, so it's your fault.

Kids today aren't growing up with love for their country and a genuine desire to make it better. It's trendy to hate on it. It's trendy to be a slacktivist. When kids grow up patriotic, they care about their communities more. They care about the country's future more. Even Republicans are lacking in patriotism today.

It seems to me that the average Republican cares more about religion than making America the greatest country on Earth.

There's a reason for that, and it aint because they aren't saying a fucking pledge enough.

I would also reform our prison system. It doesn't work. We have less than 5% of the world's population, yet 25% of the world's imprisoned population. We don't rehabilitate criminals, we just leave them in a cell, then release them, and they often go on to commit more crimes. We should study and implement aspects of Norway's prison system, which works.

Sorry but I don't want my president having daily meltdowns and breakdowns.

That reminds me, as president, I would make therapy more accessible. Many veterans are struggling with depression, and it takes 5 months to a year for them to even get therapy though the VA. That is unacceptable. For non-veterans, therapy is a privilege of the rich. It will be included as part of my reformed Affordable Care Act.
