The British were there *way* before that. It's British territory. The people who live there are British and want to date British.

It's not the same - the Falklands weren't settled and Argentina never held or settled those islands.

They're not Argentinian islands. Argentina invaded an island of British people who very much want to stay British.

stick drawing with one person saying to a group TURKEY IS A BAD THANKSGIVING MEAL. the next section features one person giving a large, silent thumbs up. the final section features the single stick figure standing alone as the group continues their discussion, ignoring the turkey contrarian

a lot of people are interpreting this as β€œwow elite liberals really hate the left” and while thats true, what’s mainly going on here is that elite liberals hate anyone who is young and did not complete the cursus honorum of local politics

In good faith: do you think the issue is that they haven't followed those winning-election positions? Followed them too literally? They've mismanaged exogenous events?

If Popularism is unpopular we need to at least root cause.

The Founders were so concerned about bribery that the Constitution forbids it three separate times. Two emoluments clauses ban officialsβ€”unambiguously including the presidentβ€”from accepting things of value, plus bribery is the only named impeachable offense besides treason.

Unprecedentedly corrupt.

The issue with "anything goes against this hated group" is that people always expand "hated group" to justify their behavior. This is why the sex offender list has "black 18 year old boy with a 17 year old white girlfriend with racist parents".

Probably no way to do this constitutionally but elected pay should be high with very generous pensions, but you are prohibited from any other source of income for the rest of your life.
