    Look, I’m all for equal representation and equal opportunity for everyone. The US had a black president already, which is awesome, but I’m not thinking the next step here is to “recently convicted felon”. Maybe try for a woman as president first?

    Just saying.

      Yknow there’s a strong argument to be made had Hillary won, she would have been circumventing the 2 term rule

        Under the same logic, wouldn’t Biden also be ineligible because he was also in the white house (as vp) for 8 years?

          Oh cmon. If Bill hadn’t married her, he’d be a retired lawyer in Little Rock today. Any other first ladies end up Secretary of State in another administration a decade later?

            Is there more to the argument because it looks like you’re kinda jumping from “she became secretary of state” to “she would’ve been 3 term”. She was qualified to be president despite Bill.

      There’s a whole long LIST of things we can try long before settling on “first felon president.”

      • First Woman President

      • First Openly Gay President

      • First Asian/Pacific Islander President

      • First Albino President

      • First Teenage President

      • First Werewolf President

      • First Teenage Werewolf President

      • First Robot President

      • First Robot Teenage Werewolf President

      • First Normal President

      We could go on and on too.

        How about a young guy with truly progressive ideas? I find it hard to believe no one ever gains enough traction with social media the way it is, or maybe it’s because social media is the way it is. Or maybe people like that just don’t get into politics.

            He’s the USA’s most fearsome being.

            He’s a werewolf in a high school, and a teen.

        Women, Asian and Pacific islander people are all normal. I propose a woman like that who is normal, who multiracial and LGBT. Usually mommas know what is best for the kids. So why not the ultimate love momma? You mess with us and we’ll f-u up. You work with us and we’ll love you to pieces. So I propose momma bear. Even better if she’s well educated with a medical PhD and…but I mean, why not a hotel maid? My mom was a hotel maid and she’s got the best heart and mind you’ll ever meet. Don’t need a PhD to be president.

          I’m expecting a response in relation as to why i chose a cult.

          This reminds me of one of those furries who always has to interject in any role playing situation that they’re furries and their character is a furry despite nobody in the gaming session actually asking or encouraging that person.
