Haven’t been reading the Times lately, Joe?


BTW - you may have gotten out of NYC just in time, although recent news suggests that Chicago isn’t so much better.

This could be an interesting ticket if it takes off. I don't think they have a chance, but I really hope they do.

We the people draft two candidates: one from the center-left, one from the center-right. Once elected, they agree to govern as a team. All decisions and appointments will be made jointly in the interests of the American public. Only when they cannot reach agreement, or when a decision does not allow for consultation, does the President decide independently. A coin flip determines which candidate runs at the top of the ticket.

Candidates must meet these three criteria:
  1. They must be patriotic
  2. They must be highly capable
  3. They must be courageous
After four years in office, the order reverses for the next election. This continues until the American public chooses an alternative administration or one of the members of the team cannot run for re-election, at which point a new patriot would replace them.

The Unity Ticket represents our shared values and vision for the future. Cooperation and necessary compromise pave the path to a functioning and productive government that serves all citizens.

Brainy, you need to look up the pinned post on Twitter from Christopher F. Rufo regarding "Interrupting Internalized Racial Superiority and Whiteness" training being conducted by the city of Seattle.

It's very precedented, we're just seeing a demographic shift.
