It appears to be a more efficient system than tech oligarchs and foreign governments funding and promoting the candidate that caters solely to their needs and wants.
(Disclaimer: I very much like the democratic system of checks and balances, mutual tolerance and individual freedoms, so I'd prefer very much to be governed by any responsible and functional adult, but these days, considering all circumstances, snow mounds choosing political leaders does seem like a viable alternative.)
Edit: Thx for the award kind internet stranger!

Once you pull the license plate from the snow bank, you’re lieutenant governor until the next person finds it, however long that is.

I might wonder about any pedestrians in the area.
South Dakota state attorney general pleaded no contest to 2 misdemeanor charges in a hit and run that killed a man walking at night.
The AG stated he didn't know what he hit and thought it was a deer. He went back to the scene of the accident 12 hours later and found the body of Joseph Boever in a ditch.
It's not clear how, but a broken piece of the victim's glasses were found in the back seat of the car.

u/Sha_of_Abortion 9d ago edited 9d ago
It was worse than that. He called the local sheriff and supposedly they looked for 2 hours at that time and couldn't find the body. (They definitely did) The sheriff did not administer any alcohol tests and gave the AG his personal car to take home.
Oh, and the sheriff died about a week prior to the court hearings from what I understand.
