Dodger Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 So this election will be a 74 year old incumbent running against either a 79 year old or a 78 year old, with a chance a spry spring chicken at 70 will be other choice. That's just fucking great. Maybe they can all die before November and we can have a real election. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the VP candidate become President if the ticket wins? I think it is the trickiest if it the death happens before the election. If the winning candidate dies after the election but before the electors cast their votes, the vice presidential nominee will likely become the President on inauguration day. But yeah, if it happens before the election - can you vote for a dead guy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't change the ballot and the Electors might be bound to the dead guy depending on the state. Cleanest outcome constitutionally would be elect dead guy and let the 25th kick in automatically on inauguration day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote The term originates in the systematic psychological manipulation of a victim by her husband in the 1938 stage play Gas Light,[4] and the film adaptations released in 1940 and 1944.[5] In the story, the husband attempts to convince his wife and others that she is insane by manipulating small elements of their environment and insisting that she is mistaken, remembering things incorrectly, or delusional when she points out these changes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaslighting#Etymology Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentWorld Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 55 minutes ago, CitizenVectron said: I feel like it's a good time to remind Americans in here that Bernie would be considered a moderate in any other developed nation. Seriously, he is further to the right than the current Liberal government of Canada, a party known for it's devotion to pragmatic centrism. Anyone calling him extreme is revealing their ignorance to actual political ideology. I don't really agree with your comparison between Bernie and the LPC. Medicare for all would give the USA a healthcare scheme with significantly broader coverage than what currently exists in Canada. Yes, the liberals have been musing about some sort of pharmacare program but what about things like dental coverage? Sanders would cover dental in M4A, the LPC has not (AFAIK) proposed any such thing. I have never heard any calls for a wealth tax from the LPC. Bernie Sanders wants to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour and I've never heard the LPC propose anything like that (although admittedly with that example I'm not entirely sure if the feds have jurisdiction to mandate a nationwide minimum wage). Bernie has proposed canceling all student loan debt and making college tuition free. While tuition costs and student loan debt aren't as onerous in Canada as it is in the USA, most people graduating university in Canada will have some student loans and the LPC has not proposed making college free or canceling student loans. Chrystia Freeland and Bill Morneau would absolutely shit bricks if Trudeau started proposing policies similar to what Sanders is proposing, IMO.

Has Sanders proposed massive wealth transfers to parents with children though? That's something that has massively reduced poverty in Canada in under 10 years. I guess Sanders is more likely between the liberals and NDP. So centre-left at worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
