Mr Beast.

not because he’d be particularly good or competent at running a country; i’d like to see if/how he would milk being the president for content.

Kim Jong Un

Zohran Mamdani

Knows politics, but is a person I’d trust to fix things.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, or Greta Thunberg.

Maduro easily, just taste really. I think everyone could get used to his addresses and get over their issues within time. His responsibilities to Venezuelans are far more important though, so I understand him not wanting to be our Fuhrer.

I like Mamdani – he is well spoken and passionate about helping people. Jon Stewart would do a good job, but I don’t know if we need more celebrities.

Weird all Yankovic.

He’s been around for ages, doing parodies of everything but hasn’t managed to make a single enemy. He’s smart, he’s caring, he’s never involved in any scandals, and I guarantee he’d only use this power to better everyone.

Zach de la Rocha

My second comment of the day with the same answer funnily enough…

Dolly Parton!

Jim Gottstein, lawyer who won in the Alaska Supreme Court and exposed company documents proving zyprexa causes diabetes.

Andrew Yang

Bernie Sanders

Jesus. Not kidding. Let’s see how hypocritical the Right really is.

I would like to see a random person. Put the entire adult population in a lotto and draw a name. Congrats, that person is now president.

The knee-jerk reaction is to be horrified by this prospect, but I want you to stop and really think about this for a sec. I think we can all admit that most of our leaders/politicians are, to put it mildly, fucking monsters. Those positions attract personalities that fall firmly in the Dark Triad (machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy). And those that are capable of getting themselves elected are pretty much guaranteed to have at least one or more of those traits.

But these traits are relatively rare in your average, everyday person. Although the media tries it’s best to warp our view of the world, individual people are, for the most part, good, decent folks who want to help those around them. It’s practically built into our DNA. The problem is it only takes a small handful of selfish jackasses to ruin things, and our society tends to listen to those that are being the loudest.

By this metric, if you take a random person off the street, you have a higher chance of them being a good person; rather than if you selected from a pool of politicians.

Another benefit to this is the person entering office has zero ties to any company or billionaire. Lobbyists spend billions to ensure that anyone elected is already in the pockets of whatever big industry wants to fund them. By the time someone is elected, it’s already too late as they’ve already had their hands greased and have accepted gifts, officially or unofficially. That’s just the way the game is currently played. But a random person? They can’t bribe someone ahead of time if they don’t know who that person is going to be. Oh sure, I suppose they could try to appease the public as a whole so that your average person already has a positive opinion of them; but would that be such a bad thing?

Is it a perfect system? Hell no. Leaving leadership up to the whims of chance is a dangerous move to make. But is it a better system than the one we have now? I say yes. I truly believe we would be better off with a random person as president than any known politician or talking head.

Arnold Schwarzenegger. He would be already if he was allowed.

But honestly, at this point, anyone who wasn’t entirely evil.
