Wow, is this cycle doing some interesting things. I’ve never really much cared one way or the other about Schwarzenegger, but this impressed me, as it meets me where I am:
“I will always be an American before I am a Republican,” he wrote. “That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognise our country. And you are right to be furious.”

Nawor3565 ( @Nawor3565@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) English42•4 months agoAdded context for anyone who isn’t aware, Schwarzenegger was the Republican governor of California from 2003 to 2011.
LallyLuckFarm ( @LallyLuckFarm@beehaw.org ) 24•4 months agoAdding context to context, there was a movement to change the constitution to allow him to run for president around then too
slurpeesoforion ( @slurpeesoforion@startrek.website ) 18•4 months agoAnd I think he may have even said to not change it for him. I could be wrong though.
shastaxc ( @shasta@lemm.ee ) 20•4 months agoYeah because that’s a great loophole for foreign governments to install a puppet president in our country. At least currently it is a little harder.
Entertainmeonly ( @Entertainmeonly@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 10•4 months agoWell, more expensive. Difficulty is roughly the same.
He emphatically said no to that movement. Dude seems to like the Constitution or something.
Buttons ( @Buttons@programming.dev ) English5•4 months agoNothing wrong with changing the constitution, as long as people do what’s required.
You’re not getting that through 35 states. There’s the Congressional problem, too. He seems to understand the process and thought it would be a waste of time.

Troy ( @troyunrau@lemmy.ca ) 37•4 months agoThe Governator has spoken

Troy ( @troyunrau@lemmy.ca ) 8•4 months agoIn Demolition man, they passed the 61st Amendment to allow him to be president. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal_Opportunity_to_Govern_Amendment#In_popular_culture
OK, so now can we get an explanation for the three seashells?
Troy ( @troyunrau@lemmy.ca ) 5•4 months agoBe well.
Goldholz ( @Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 2•4 months agoThe terminator has spoken
jay ( @jay@mbin.zerojay.com:443 ) 3•4 months agoMaybe I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure this isn’t the first time that Arnold has voted against his own party. Does someone else remember…?
He has. What he’s not previously done is tell us that we’re right to be furious. Perhaps there’s meaning there.
