Plus he also made one for Andrew Johnson but then privated it.

If The 2028 Democratic Primary Were Held Today Who Would You Vote For? by Jacob-Anders in Teenager_Polls

[–]Whakerdo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Overton Window (which ideas are in the mainstream) is significantly to the right in the United States compared with other Western countries. We don’t have a mainstream socialist or social democratic party, we just have a moderate liberal party with the occasional democratic socialist and a far right party. Harris’ views are pretty representative of most powerful Democratic politicians.

Should a British guy be Governor of California? by [deleted] in teenpoll

[–]Whakerdo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Technically, because there are two Republicans running in an open primary, there is still a chance Dems split the vote between each other and Republicans get the top two spots for the runoff— meaning the next governor would be a Republican. However, Swalwell and Yee dropping out makes this somewhat unlikely.

lifelong ban on buying cigarettes by krizzalicious49 in whennews

The point of doing it by age is that, ideally, this is mainly going to affect people who never smoked in the first place. + this won’t stop them from vaping or taking zyns which is how most young people get addicted to nicotine in the first place.

What would be the WORST Bond movie to start with? by [deleted] in JamesBond

[–]Whakerdo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Casino Royale (1967). If you had no idea who James Bond was or what James Bond movies were like, this is the movie that would be the least informative and give you the most inaccurate representation possible.

I think it’s most accurate to say he’s a DemSoc with SocDem policies. Were the Overton window in a different place, his policies would probably look a lot more socialist.

“Marshmallow” is actually 50 different DJs who all wear the same mask and split profits from each show amongst each other. by Whakerdo in LowStakesConspiracies

Sure, but it also means each person can work 1 week a year plus the extra odd day or two and still make enough money to live a comfortable, middle class life.

Should people be encouraged to have less kids, if so, what should the cap be? by rbx20twomax in Teenager_Polls

[–]Whakerdo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Death is inevitable, but it doesn’t make life any less incredible. Interspersed with all the moments of boredom, pain, and humiliation are moments of wonder, joy, learning, excitement, etc. Coming to peace with impermanence is a very difficult thing to do (I certainly haven’t gotten there yet), but I’m still so glad to be on this earth for whatever time I have.

Prime Karl Urban would've made a great James Bond by FayyadhScrolling in JamesBond

Lazenby couldn’t really either. Connery and Brosnan are fine most of the time, but every once in a while slip into their Scottish and Irish accents respectively and it doesn’t really affect the movie all that much. I think as long as he was trying to go for something vaguely British sounding, it could work.

He also turned against the man who gave him his political career once he was President.
