Current Events > $784,000 but every elected politician is a Democrat for the next 20 years.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Free money but nothing else changes.

What's the catch?

They're gonna take money through theft

So more Manchins and Sinemas ok

Which Democrats are we talking about? The likes of Dianne Feinstein or Joe Manchin are Dems, but so are AOC and Rashida Tlaib.

That would be better than having Republicans, so deal. Not like a viable 3rd party is going to form and be better than the Democrats anyway.

Sure I'll take the money, but part of why republicans suck so much is a base that votes for them no matter what. Hopefully Dems don't turn sour with 20 years.

No, as much as I'd love to, I can't afford that.

...what do you mean, the money is for me? That wouldn't make any sense, there would be no reason for any sane person to turn that down!

I voted yea before thinking of this, but I still say yes. I get rich and the GOP lose power for a generation? There's so many upsides to that, and frankly it'd heal this country.

In theory should be a net benifit till new tax laws hit and you lose more of that money. Still wouldnt complain

Id take that for free(gladly take the money anyways though)

It wouldn't take very long for the GOP to notice some weird fuckery is going on and they'd just run their own candidates as democrats. Still, for a few years it'd be nice and it would probably piss them off a ton, that would be awesome.

Win win

Can I get less money in exchange for lengthening that time?

I don't need money badly enough to consign us all to that fate.

Easy money and save the country from fascism!

Deal. So long as the Dems don't go bad as the GOP has.

I mean, I guess.

All that would happen is the Republican Party would dissolve, and the Democrat Party would split into two parties. The DINOs and the Extremes

The Dems are a pretty diverse party in terms of views. You gotta narrow it down. Otherwise, this is like saying "Politicians will get elected for the next 20 years if you take this money".

I'd do this for the inverse too

Are you really asking CE, who at anytime has multiple topics roasting Republicans, If they would only have Democrats be elected? That's free money basically. Although I guess CE commonly has other "what's the downside" polls.

If this happened, CE would just complain about the "Centrist" Democrats like they do about Republicans.

And rightfully so.

The Slightly Left Democrats would just be the new Republicans.

So nothing would really change, but Id have three quarter of a mil.

Deal.

, but fold have a quarter of a mil.

wut

So like.... Aren't these usually supposed to have some sort of downside?

that was supposed to say but Id have three quarter of a mil

Presumably primaries would still exist so all that'd really change is that Republicans would be gone until they figure out they need to start taking over part of the Democrats, but by then a bunch of damage will be undone and progress will have been made.

The downside is that it would expose many Democrats to the fact that theyre not as Left as many would hope they are

Honestly, the only people under the illusion that the Democrats are left wing are those on the right.

This is just a load of shit to say

Wouldn't matter. The will of the wealthy elite is what these "democrats" would "believe in".

Anyway for the topic, what's the downside?

That's already what the democrats believe in

Hmmm, maybe for $785,000

784,000 is a weak ass house

Pretending everything is the same doesn't make you smart, it makes you intellectually lazy

Republican donors would absolutely flock to the Democrats if they were the only option. I stand by what I said.

Deal. maybe they won't still fail to do any-
thing about our immediate problems

What's the downside here?

What do you mean "but" where's the downside

Feels like it could go fucky in some way, but hey, republicans are always a bad option anyway, and I want money.

Not ideal, I'd prefer a bit further left on most issues (key words "a bit"), but I could certianly live with it especially for that much cash.

This is bad Democrats are very different and a lot of them are fucking corrupt and horrible too, Donald Trump himself was once a Democrat til he realized how much easier it is to grift the right I don't want 1 party majority I want Conservative, Progressive and Liberal to have equal powers so that actual debate, resonable compromise and people are there who actually want to help the citizens of the country and not just the ones with six zero bank accounts, that's what a true democracy is and should be especailly for the country that lieks to tout itself as the ultimate example of democracy.

Think about it, this whole thing is one big monkey paw it just says Democrats win for 20 years straight it doesn't say what kind of democrat wins it could be a corrupt piece of shit with all their crime exposed and highlighted and they'd still win because of this which would then make other corrupt shit bags realize Dems win no matter what and then what happens if it's Dem vs dem vs dem vs dem or ap rimary where it's only dems, who wins then? Not a very thought out topic especially for those who aren't n major into politics nor have any clue how annoyingly complicated and full of rules and loopholes that are only held up by the same logic as a pinkie swear is

It will even hit cuz they'll tax and take it all

So US becoming 1-party system for $20 m?
I still take the money anyway because I'm not an American.

That's the kind of fucky I was too lazy to consider.

That's a lot of fuck.

Hrm.
