My mate Tim. He has no political experience, however he has some rad ideas.
Russ Feingold, or Thom Hartmann
Bernie, because i think he would be really really good at training his VP AOC to be president after him
Bernie Muthafukin Sanders
Just... let it be a lottery. Couldn't make it much worse.
Roosevelt, Franklin Delano

I actually joked with my buddy that a golden retriever randomly picking legislation that was laid out on a desk would be better than the current administration. Like lay three competing bills on the desk, and enact whichever one the golden retriever prefers. At least we might have a chance of getting some good legislation on the books.
My mother. She would solve everything.
Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov "Lenin."
A friend of mine whose decisionmaking I respect a lot. Good balance of logic and empathy. He would be an awesome president and hed hate me for dumping that shitton of responsibility on him. Wouldnt want to be in his shoes. Also id miss him, but its for the best.
Aoc
If we're talking about real life people, Bernie.
Otherwise, Papyrus from Undertale. I don't think he has a bad bone in his body!
Bernie, all the way. Is it too soon to say Iโd take Carter as he is now over trump?
Of the US?
Jonathan Nez,
but only if he were given carte blanche power.
if usa...you have recently elected one, is he not great? already disappointed in him? maybe 'muricans' will learn to take elections seriously next time...
Ibrahim Traore
President of what? We have a prime minister
Mark Twain. I don't even care if he isn't resurrected in this scenario.
POTUS? Nobody. No single person should hold a position with such power.
No single person
High 5 maybe?
Me, motherfuckers!
Sasquatch for pres!
I'll bring some country stank up in the Oval Office, put my giant, hairy feet up on Washington's desk, and hit anyone that's an asshole with my cane.
That's my campaign platform: whacking politicians with a stick
Fucking nobody.
Idk, maybe Dave Anthony and Dan Carlin as vice.
Paw Patrol. They seem to have a handle on things. How many shitty human presidents have we had? How many shitty dog presidents? I rest my case.
Like every other episode involves some train crash or other perfectly avoidable catastrophe. Granted, that's maybe their nepo mayors fault (her grandpa was mayor back in the day) but they're still very complicit.
(My daughter is 2, these thoughts are all I have to get me through watching it with her)

Not to mention the right wing authoritarianism. You're not alone in noticing. The theme song is great, though.
My daughter cheers Go Go Go! When they do that action song during an episode, and part of me wants a parody that just continues that repetition without ever ending until the credits fade to black.
I'm also not too worried about my daughter becoming right wing. She can already tell how uncomfortable I am around cops, lol (but she mostly just loves firefighters and construction workers).
They are cops
Skynet.
If was right fuck humans
