For maybe a month now, watching some of the Sunday morning shows has been something I hate, because Vance just goes on there and pops **** and lies. It's disgusting. Politicians evade, lie, etc. But I've watched those shows for decades. Watched em since forever. There was always some truth spoken and some shared reality. But he just goes on there and says ******* nothing. He lies like it's breathing.
Ask him if 3+5 is 8 and he'll pivot to blaming an immigrant for the question even being asked in the first place. Hopefully Kamala wins and we can rid politics of appearances where you do LITERALLY nothing but lie.

Where did you grow upgry60
Cameroon.
The political system is unitary presidential.
Elections are single round, simple majority type.
The president has been in power since 1982.
It used to be a single-party state until the early 1990s. In 1992, Biya won with a plurality of votes (40%) against an opposition coalition that could not agree on presenting a unified ticket
1992 Cameroonian presidential election - Wikipedia
In 1996, the president consolidated his legislative power after the parliamentary elections, when his party won the majority of the parliament.
Since then, he has routinely revised the constitution to reset his term count to zero, which is just a paperwork exercise since he controls the constitutional court (can nominate and fire judges at will) and keeps his party legislators in check through his extensive use of police for surveillance and intimidation (see the articles below).

The next elections are next year. I added a couple of articles and references below about past protests
Cameroon bans media from talking about President Biya’s health
Authorities dismiss rumours of ill health as ‘pure fantasy’, set up ‘monitoring cells’ to track online debate.
Cameroon: Government Bans Opposition Coalitions
A declaration by Cameroon’s territorial administration minister to make two opposition coalitions illegal is part of a government crackdown on opposition and dissent.

Funny seeing him say he'd walk out if he heard that from trump.. considering he said this in 2016..
Speaking to CNN's Jake Tapper in March 2016, Rubio warned: "For years to come, there are many people on the right, in the media and voters at large, that are going to be having to explain and justify how they fell into this trap of supporting Donald Trump." But he's fell hook,line and sinker right into supporting DJT.

The threshold to get on the ballot is 5% of the total vote, not million votes so a third party candidate would need around 8 million votes.
We've been hearing the "we just need 5%" talk since Ralph Nader in the '90s. It's just not going to happen.

"I can't be racist, I have a black friend"
How the backlash to 'woke' culture has made a way for racist humor to thrive
The concept of "feeling pleasure in regarding others as inferior," argues "The Souls of White Jokes" author Raúl Pérez, has deep roots in American history, and it is used today by alt-right groups, politicians, media and law enforcement.

He tried to play it both ways. Did the Rodney Dangerfield collar grab cause he knew what he was doing, then related it to voting. Double entendre done SO hamfisted.

If you peeped the mostly white comedians podcasters who worship Rogan and are his orbiters, you could see they've been trump guys for a while. They just were hiding it behind "jokes" and "comedy". Each time they would discuss politics, Trump would get a pass and they would crucify the democrats for mundane things. Now they can show their true colors a lot more. Some will still play the fence, parading the black people around them (Schulz) as a shield. It's a good thing tho, I like knowing where people stand.
