Haven't you heard? Autocracy is all the rage these days. Just where have you been, darling?

PKK is their eternal bogeyman/scapegoat. I doubt they were ever serious about talks.

University degrees are a dime a dozen

The Executive Branch's (ie, the President's) capacity to felonize anyone is precisely why we can't keep felons out of public office. Meanwhile, millions of felons who have paid their debt to society, and more, remain unable to vote.

I hate the fact that so-called leftists are still using the felon thing as a talking point. At least it gives you neo-liberals/neo-cons a way to out yourselves I guess.

We should have it that if you can't vote then you don't pay taxes. NO taxation without representation. Either the felons get their voting back or everybody will want to be a felon.

Felons being president is not the issue.

The issue is the people willing to vote for such morally bankrupt con-artist.

Being able to elect a Felon is kinda like jury nullification, but for electing presidents.

Like: Jury nullification isn't the issue, the issue is the jury is now ignoring a smoking-gun evidence that the accused have actually done the crime, and the jury is letting an actual bad person get away with it. Its not the system, its the people in the jury.

Edit: But also, Felons not being able to vote is total cringe. Like, how does it make sence to be able to run for an office you can't vote in?

If you couldn’t elect a felon then you can just make all your opponents felons

Yes, imagine if the coup attempt was real.

As a hint. It wasn't. Especially not the helicopter ride. That part was so staged it's comical.

Except that the coup was very real. Turned a democracy into a dictatorship with one scripted helicopter ride.

I don't care how bad it is, there's no way a coup would not have made it worse
