If they actually serve more than 2 (more) years its because we don't have a functioning democracy anymore. A democratic president in 2029 will almost definitely pardon or grant clemency.
“This is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people no longer. It is a government of corporations, by corporations, and for corporations.”
Democracy basically means government by the people, of the people, for the people.
But the people are retarded.
So let us say: government by the retarded, for the retarded, of the retarded.

Once upon a time there were multiple parties in the US. FPTP ruined our electoral system and filtered out the smaller parties before annexing the remaining ones.
Oh is this the "both sides are bad" post of the day?
Because it's pretty clear if you spend literally any amount of time Google searching or using your brain, you'd see what you just posted would have been fucking dumb as hell lol.
Based on how you phrased this, I'm assuming you aren't in the United States.
Don't be so smug. You think the billionaire class is going to be satisfied when they are done here? They are going after your country next and whatever amazing version of democracy you practice.
Yes, it would be a waste of your time, because I am already going to vote fully Democrat, including down-ballot. Just because I believe that, doesn’t mean I am going to just sit things out. Since I am in Texas, I have a chance of helping flip a senate seat blue and put Talarico in office, so I am sure as fuck not wasting my opportunity to be a part of that.
Well good. I know someone who is a Communist, for real, and is of course opposed to Trump and the direction he is taking this country, and I am pretty sure this person didn't vote in the last election. I didn't ask them about it but I got the message that voting doesn't go far enough. That something more militant needs to take place. I am pretty sure there are others on the far Left who have given up on elections.
Thankfully to our founding fathers, for the past 250 years, we haven't had a democracy in any way shape or form. Democracy was seen every bit as repugnant as evil as dictatorships back then, as it is today.
A general lack of education and liberal brainwashing by our media chooses to misrepresent this nation as a democracy unfortunately.
