My local parish council has 18 as its age requirement.

And like 25 for Parish President

hey, who knows really

Unrelated: Richest parish in Louisiana wonders "why do we not have a massive debt issue"

maybe at that age you should just campaign instead of run, but, it's a crazy time

YEah

Just run for whatever, make sure you can win though

there was this mayor of this small town who was like...10 years old

wasn't there a dog in elected office in alaska I think?

Yep.

Cat actually

Dog was California

that looks to at least be some sort of effort, which is better than Saccone.

Slaughter is dead

this was written in january

yeah, and his next opponent should me easier than Slaughter, which means he has a fighting chance

especially given that he went in thinking he'd have to put in the effort to defeat Slaughter

I hope Gov Andrew Cuomo files the date for this election to be before Nov 6

winning this would be a morale boost for the right

Cynthia Nixon is running for NY governor

Any relation to Richard Nixon?

Nope just an actress

For Sex in City no less (according to Twitter).

Republican, Democrat, or Independent?

(D)

will be interesting if she can unseat Cuomo

It’s an actress, do you have to ask wether or not she’s Democrat. All the Hollywood drones are the same.

Cuomo is disliked by a lot of people on the left. She's probably running in an attempt to be the more left wing kind of Democrat in contrast to Cuomo's corporatism

that's not what corporatism is

I think you definitely can call Cuomo a sucker for big business though

Corporatism is economic nationalism

when you essentially tariff foreign products and subsidize struggling businesses

it just has a very unfortunate name

@FLanon Corporatism in the original fascist sense? Yeah it isn't

I mean, it predates fascism by quite a while

Why are there so many Cuomos?

Big political family, probably.

The father was also a governor

One of them is a meme and has a show on ((CNN))

we have something similar here
