ya, he can't

2019-01-02 00:14:08 UTC  

<- not from the US so..

2019-01-02 00:14:25 UTC  

Musk isn’t native born citizen

2019-01-02 00:14:32 UTC  

Rip

2019-01-02 00:14:34 UTC  

yea

2019-01-02 00:15:04 UTC  

Well, if you're not from the US but your parents both are natural-born citizens, then you can still run

2019-01-02 00:15:11 UTC  

because that makes you a natural-born citizen

2019-01-02 00:15:15 UTC  

Is Ocasio Cortez American born?

2019-01-02 00:15:16 UTC  

oh ok

2019-01-02 00:15:34 UTC  

e.g. John McCain was born in Panama and Ted Cruz was born in Canada

2019-01-02 00:15:56 UTC  

but Musk's parents are South African and Canadian

2019-01-02 00:16:00 UTC  

Yeah, Ocasio-Cortez was born in the Bronx

2019-01-02 00:16:16 UTC  

and he has triple citizenship

2019-01-02 00:16:20 UTC  

she can't run for like 7 more years, during which she'll fade into obscurity

2019-01-02 00:16:36 UTC  

^^We hope

2019-01-02 00:16:51 UTC  

It is great we are getting more populists.... but is it a false populist or real populist.

2019-01-02 00:16:54 UTC  

That is our issue now.

2019-01-02 00:17:04 UTC  

populism is populism

2019-01-02 00:17:10 UTC  

All politicians are liars

2019-01-02 00:17:22 UTC  

they say what wants to be heard

2019-01-02 00:17:25 UTC  

to get votes

2019-01-02 00:17:28 UTC  

there is no "side" to populism

You can only have liars, or actual populists

2019-01-02 00:17:38 UTC  

then they do nothing when they get in and the cycle continues

2019-01-02 00:18:16 UTC  

Populist = People Representative or Elite.

2019-01-02 00:18:17 UTC  

So then, Endangered, if someone does something in a government office, they are by definition not a politician?

2019-01-02 00:18:52 UTC  

do you mean they are a politician?

2019-01-02 00:19:36 UTC  

I have yet to see a representative with a career in politics actually perform exactly as they promised during their campaigns

2019-01-02 00:20:30 UTC  

They make impossible claims to hype themselves up in peoples' minds to get votes, then they get in, diddle around for a term and then do something cool to get back in for the next term

2019-01-02 00:20:45 UTC  

and people vote because "we'll get em next time"

2019-01-02 00:21:00 UTC  

No fucking honour in the Women's March and associated movements.

2019-01-02 00:22:00 UTC  

So, if a politician does not perform exactly as they said they would on campaign, they are not to be respected?

2019-01-02 00:22:18 UTC  

If they fail to uphold important promises that they made, no they are not

2019-01-02 00:22:22 UTC  

I think it kinda depends on what changes

2019-01-02 00:22:24 UTC  

and how

2019-01-02 00:22:51 UTC  

especially if they use those promises to get re-elected saying, "we can get it done if you give me another term"

2019-01-02 00:23:08 UTC  

e.g. I don't think anyone will be upset when The Wall turns out to be a great number of partial and complete barriers of all shapes and sizes and other security devices, to the same effect of a great wall.

2019-01-02 00:23:26 UTC  

@EndangeredProdigy My State's governor just got re-elected on that.

2019-01-02 00:23:33 UTC  

Local Newspaper headline today was

2019-01-02 00:23:38 UTC  

lol

2019-01-02 00:23:43 UTC  

this time for sure!

2019-01-02 00:23:54 UTC  

"Governor Wolf's second term to be focused on getting things done."
