This shit has seriously gone on too long. People who continue to cling to the "10,000 dead crushed by tanks hosed i to the gutter" bs are cranks. It's jews control the banks, chemtrails, the earth is flat, the moon isn't real level of crank shit and unless you're feeling very indulgent and someone is asking in good faith it can be dismissed as equally serious to that kind of crank shit.

Zelensky is an illegitimate president, because his term has ened.

Isn't that like... The basics of how a democratic mandate works?

Not that I've ever seen it as a topic here but still. If Rishi Sunak continues as ~~president~~ PM beyond his term time I'm calling him illegitimate. In fact I'm calling him illegitimate now and forever because we literally never got to vote for the fuck. He has/had no mandate.

EDIT: Fuck me libs jump to the dumbest conclusions over the smallest shit.

Term limits aren’t very indicative of democracy. If someone keeps requesting someone to lead beyond a nominal limit, is it not undemocratic to reject it? I still think a mental/age limit should be in place though.

I think any functioning and sensible democracy would not require one. The problem that the US has with geriatrics is a problem of a malfunctioning bourgeoise-democracy. It's underperforming as a "democracy" even for the bourgeoise because of this.

The us has term limits specifically because what's his ass kept winning and wasn't fashy enough.

I think the issue is that he is past his term without being elected for another one.

Lmao I was running on 36 hours of being awake when I posted that. I currently reside in Woking if you're wondering, but only for 2 more weeks or I wouldn't be saying that here lmao.

Also a mod over on /r/greenandpleasant, probably banned you at least once if this is the kind of conclusion you jump to over stupid shit.
