David Mirtz is a co-chair of the NYC Working Families Party Some elections prove to be turning points in politics. For the Democratic Party in New York, Assemblyman Zorhan Mamdani decisive mayoral primary win over the well-connected and...
Doesn’t need to change, we have those rules for a reason.
Also, should see how he actually does as mayor before giving him too much credit. Plenty of other politicians have been flops or changed their tune once in office.
Like, obviously we can have restrictions. Basically Id say shift the age requirement to time as a citizen instead. But I really don’t see why a kid born in Uganda and moving to America at 7 years old (Like Mamdani) and running for president at 42 is really any different than a kid born in America and running for president at 35.
I don’t know when he got his citizenship. But shift the age X years to whenever he got it.
The plan of having a 35 year long sleeper agent living in America is fantasy. That’s significantly too much work when you can already buy our politicians right now and not wait 35 years. (APAIC comes to mind first)
I feel like all Citizens should be able to run at some point. I really don’t care what patch of dirt you were born on.
I would guess something like preventing a foreign born and indoctrinated agent or Manchurian Candidate type situation.
Boy howdy, I bet it would really suck if we got a foreign asset into the presidency, huh? Imagine not even knowing you are being attacked and wondering why the country seems to be happily self destructing! What an awful hypothetical and not real situation.
Needless to say, it may have made sense at one time but it’s probably a bit outdated now.
I’d say the existence of Musk and Murdoch are still reason enough that it’s still useful. No reason to make it easier on foreign elements, this at least makes them work for it. Seriously consider how lucky they were with Trump at damned near any stage he could’ve fucked up and gotten himself killed, imprisoned, or otherwise incapacitated yet he didn’t. Though knowing Soviet and by extension Russian tactics it was probably more a shit wall situation.

What is the reason? Honest question.
