Wesley Crusher is still on his FedEx rant.

On a related note, there’s this new push to ‘just do something’ and raise the minimum age for an ‘assault rifle’ purchase (any semiautomatic rifle with a magazine? dunno.) to 21.
If I can’t trust you with a rifle, why should I trust you with a vote? You can argue that both are raised to age 21, especially in a modern era of delayed adolescence.
For that matter, I can see where drivers licenses are pushed to 21, although we’ll need to make an exception for illegal aliens in California of course.

re: Walt and Feinstein vs. Savage.
I really like this idea. It isn’t like there’s any chance for the gig in a one party state (which somehow can’t build a utopia) for a Republican, so you might as well have a trouble maker running.
I expect we are close to the last of the non-Hispanic statewide office holders, so there might as well be a bit of fun in the race.
Wesley Crusher takes on Amazon, a famously right-wing corporation.

Scenes:
Savage for Senate. Just tuned into to him and he was coming out of a commerical break singing that great old song “If you are going to San Fran-Cisco, be sure to wear a hypo in your hair….”
He would run on getting the bums, dopers, and feces off the streets, English only on all ballots, and ban hating white people speech so common in our once great university system. That kind of racists hate speech has to go. He would also protect the environment, especially the Northern California streams that are now toxic due to the marijuana growers, a big story the media never talks about. Oh my. I have never heard such talk in all my life, lol
Savage would also take his 9 pound therapy dog poodle to the Senate floor and let Teddy bite and nip on Chuck Schummer’s shoes. Imagine Chucky jumping on his chair afraid of a little dog, ROFLMAO. The little dog is 14 years old and has become rather frisky. Run Savage, run.

Obviously, it really only matters in contested states, but I can see the opportunity for amusement in the primaries.
In one party states like California, it would probably save a few coins to just give Feinstein a lifetime appointment. She’s an ideal representative of The People, so we all benefit.
I do like the idea of encouraging Democrats to only vote for POC or People of Gender (hang on, ‘POG’ already means something, maybe ‘People of Estrogen’). Get rid of all those useless white males and let someone else drive for a while. The RNC should definitely donate to the cause.
