Yes, you had to own land or a business. And the stated reason was to
make it so those who ran for office would have incentive not to want to
be in office. Somewhere that part of the setup of the government was
lost. Power corrupts...

will open up a whole hive of 'then only the rich can afford to run the
country'

until it all falls apart.  I probably have around 20 years
left. It's gonna be interesting to see what kills me first.

One on one I enjoyed my time with members of congress. But they
have to play a mean game to hold onto their jobs.Â

How brainwashed do they need to be to want the covid IV treatment
to try and save their lives while denying they have covid? It
really makes me sad how easily these people can be manipulated.
Â
Pretty much all fox "news" hosts are fully vaccinated yet they
make their viewers question the vaccine. Trump is vaxxed and
boosted and he has been booed on stage when he said that.
Â
I would love to be able to vote for some GOP members but they keep
proving to me they're so far off the deep end, I don't see how I
possibly could. I'm all for moderate politicians and so far, Biden
has been fairly moderate and not pandering too much to the far
left. And I wish GOP members would stop pandering to the far right
beliefs that are killing people with covid and causing them to
storm the capitol because they think the election was stolen.
Obviously, it was not. I'm firmly against any politician that
shows they're anti-lgbtq. It's 2022 so it's time to let people
love who they love without hating on them.
Â
Republicans need to do a better job standing up to the nut jobs in
their party like trump, Madison cawthorn, Marjorie Taylor Green,
and some other crazy lady who dropped out of highschool. All they
do is spew hate and don't actually legislate.

She saw very frightened anti vaxers all day long every day begging
for treatment.Â
And some begging for treatment while denying it was covid.Â

Anti-vaxers, anti-maskers, covid hoax believers are all ignorant
to actual data unfortunately. They believe science is fake,
rigged, and that somehow their favorite far right TV personalities
or podcast hosts are smarter than Doctors and Scientists.
Â
Greenie here and I know more than a few people who have had Covid
2-3 times and they screamed the last 2 years that they wouldn't
get Covid because they had natural immunity. How'd that turn out
for them?!?! Did they admit they were wrong? Of course not because
they'd rather dig their heels in and be wrong 10x worse than admit
fault and do the right thing.

Yeah, you don’t need no stinking vax.Â

I might even go to a movie for the first time in 2 years. But I
