[@Clavers1369]

Because he hasn't nominated.

[@KastorFlux]

@Clavers1369 it was a rhetorical question. We're going to end up with strong support for a third party if the two we have want to continue to ignore the center and cater to the extremes. Most people aren't extremists, and every year the candidates put forward are excluding more and more people. The middle do have different interests but they're not so irrational that they'll stick to red vs blue. Give me 8 years to put this all together, yellow party, president Potato, vice president AI, running on the platform of direct democracy filtered through the representatives and forced by presidential order when faced with blatant official corruption or public mania. First order of business, revoke everything related to the patriot act, revoke protections for digital publishers that allow them to slander and confuse the public with fake accounts and censorship, revoke qualified immunity for police and standardize their training and education so they aren't mislead into committing felonies by undocumented procedures and protocols designed by corrupt administrations. Potato will win by a landslide without even talking about foreign policy or immigration. 😆
