Sunak is campaigning in a well-known marginal seat...his own.

Smallest generation in the amount of people being born and the general stereotype of being apathetic to changing the world.

That describes the generations following Gen X even better than Gen X itself.

Secondly, ageing and it being especially noticeable in the USA where there are also age limits on who can run.

Thrilled to see that Trump is wasting time and resources in a safe state.

The more Trump reaches out to minorities, and the more minorities that join the Trump Train, will cause a domino effect in other states. Just because Trump rallied in a deep blue part of the country doesn’t mean it won’t have ramifications nationwide….

There were a handful of minorities in the crowd but it looked mostly like more of the same Trump crowd. And no one cares about this. People will forget about this rally two days from now.

It can be hard to tell whites and latinos apart from distant shots but based on the images I saw, the crowd seemed to be predominantly Hispanic.

Lot of latinos are “white” lol. Never understood the idea that being Hispanic is automatically associated with being brown or something.

When reading about the parties, there really is not a single good party. All are awful.

Out of the top four, DA is the worst for me personally due to their support for genocide.

Therefore

If i were Afrikaner: VF+ (because support for independence and ceasefire)
If i were black: Lean ANC. (because of ICJ case)
If i were muslim: Al Jama-ah (because of support for Gaza)

ANC probably is the most stable party and the party i would vote for, with the context i have right now, since EFF is a bit too extreme, even for me. But it's likely if South Africa didn't start the ICJ case that i would've gone for EFF anyways. It's def not the "left-wing" i stand for, but it's not like there's much of an alternative or that ANC is better.

Personally, i don't think South Africa in its current form can exist and should evolve towards dissolution and the formation of several independent states, a Zulu state, a Cape State, Afrikaner/Boer states and a Xhosa state.

Voted for VF+ since well i'm more closely related to Afrikaner than anything else, and they deserve to be independent, not because of blacks but more because of the Anglicanized character of South Africa, as well as protecting the Afrikaners language.

[The Palestinians are storing dead bodies now?]

Israeli military recovers the bodies of 3 more hotages killed on Oct. 7 from Gaza

"Hanan Yablonka, Michel Nisenbaum, and Orion Hernandez were killed on Oct. 7 at the Mefalsim Intersection and their bodies were taken into Gaza, the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement Friday morning, citing intelligence."

R.I.P. Brothers.

The Palestinians are storing dead bodies now?

Keeping them in a fridge. Storage locker? How do you keep 3 dead bodies for 229 days? There is something fundamentally corrupt in stealing dead bodies and storing them.

It should be noted that both the Israeli government and various Palestinian groups do this and have been doing it for a while.

Brah, the Palestinians are keeping the decapitated heads of victims in their fridge/freezer.

In their homes.

Equivalency?

Considering that I apparently agree with RISE more than any other party I voted for them

When writing an introduction for every party, it seems pretty obvious which parties you support and which ones you do not. It seems very biased and not really objectively written, in particular what issues you highlight.

It would be unfair to apply this rule to presidency without having a similar one for Congress or the Supreme Court.

     Honestly not such a bad idea. I don't know if I'd go as far as is posited by the topic creator, but it's a serious problem that we still have the same cadre of career politicians running everything who won't give up power until it's wrested from their cold, dead hands. We should not be so indifferent to the issues caused by having all of our highest offices occupied by dinosaurs.

I think it's one of those things like term limits though. There are definitely problems, but you're creating a whole other array of issues by establishing hard limits. The issues with the House are primarily partisan gerrymandering and districts that have become way too big. I'm not sure what to do about the Senate. I'm not particularly fond of it as an institution for a multitude of reasons (part of it being that so-called "club" mentality). I would ask two questions here.  The first is whether or not the US is unique in having something of a gerontocracy. If so, why?

I think we need term limits for SCOTUS, but that's because they're not elected by the people. If the only reform made to SCOTUS was a hard age cap, it'd just encourage nominating younger and younger Justices. If there was a minimum age, perhaps it could work. However, that would just be another way of having a set term limit (which I do think we should have for SCOTUS).
