minus-squarechaosCruiser@futurology.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·edit-22 months agoI propose we switch to preferential voting, rolling dice or thunderdome for deciding these matters. Personally, I would really like to see Trump wielding a chainsaw, but PV is my second choice.
minus-squareViking_Hippie@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·edit-22 months agoI’d love to see a bare knuckle fight to the death between Trump and Zelenskyy or pretty much any world leader who’s in reasonably good shape. Not necessarily to decide anything, just for shits and giggles 🤷
