      I’d like to cast my vote for Chat GPT, but, like one of the significantly older, more janky versions. Hell, SmarterChild for President!

        Can I vote for a sentient cloud of methane being released by already thawing permafrost?

            Are you saying that I can manifest my ideal gaseous leader by thinking about it?

            Or were you unaware that last year in Alaska and BC, rivers were running a yellow color indicating the permafrost was already starting to melt?

            Or is this all a setup for a fart joke, Mr or Ms or Mz fartographer?

              No need to be so formal, you can use my regular title “The.”

              Unfortunately, I’m all too aware of the horrible gasses, bacteria, and viruses in the permafrost that lay juuuuuust dormant enough that we’re about one snail’s fart away from potential catastrophe. Which is why, once again, I implore you: please do not vote for an uprising of that which lays beneath centuries and millennia of delicate ice. I’d hate to find out that we doomed ourselves via the Santa Claus/Last Unicorn effect.

                Well you are in luck!

                I am currently homeless, thus I do not have a permanent address, thus I cannot legally vote!

                God Bless America.

                  I’m really sorry to hear that! I hope you get to enjoy a future as bright as you are and fuck these ecocentric policies

                    Hilariously I am broke and homeless and one of my degrees is in Economics.

                    You only need to know one quote to summarize the mindset of nearly all Western Economists:

                    “In the long run, we are all dead anyway.”

                    I remember choosing Iceland as my case study for a school report in 2010 about how various national economies responded to the 08 financial crash.

                    My professor was quite angry when I pointed out an actual successful real world example of an economy that just told all the banks to go fuck themselves and basically did pretty economically well.

                    That wasnt possible according to what he was teaching.

      Would be funny to literally not have a candidate on the ballot for either party and libs still insist you have to vote for unspecified faceless candidate a otherwise unspecified faceless candidate b will win.
