What race? You don’t even have the ability to race because you’re sabotaging yourself at every opportunity like you’re Dick Dastardly in Wacky Races. yamcha

The hearing before the committee chaired by Cruz, Commerce, Science, and Transportation, included the usual mishmash of parochial politics, lobbying for traditional space, back slapping, and fawning—at one point, Gold, a Star Trek fan, went so far as to assert that Cruz is the “Captain Kirk” of the US Senate.

    It is because party leaders tote the status quo, and that is why we have a gerontocracy.

    ‘Tote the status quo’?
    Also, it doesn’t matter if you have old leaders or young. The problem is that they are malicious, and not that they are stupid. Them being stupid and hurting your empire’s ability to conduct genocides and invasions actually helps the rest of the world.

    promising politicians like AOC.

    If you think that AOC is ‘promising’, then there has never been any hope for you. She is a supporter of the genocide.

    Illogical is not a buzzword.

    Yeah, it is. It is used solely by people who don’t actually understand what logic is.

    You’re just deflecting from the fact that there are less shitty choices, although all choices are shitty.

    Electoralism almost never works in general.
    In this particular context, if we assume that the only viable choices are the two faces of your uniparty, then the least shitty option is the most senile, least competent one.

    We are powerless to deal with it.

    Then you have no ground to demand that the rest of the world waits for you to do anything and not fight your empire in the meantime. In particular, this applies to complaints about Hamas, but also to other parts of the world that are fighting you.

    AIPAC funds corrupt congress members and allow procurement of way way more money in aid in return for that. They essentially buy our officials.

    You are extremely naive if you actually think that it’s AIPAC that controls your state, and not vice versa.
