Hello, do you pay particular attention to politics?
gpt
I try to, but it seems to be such a hostile subject nowadays.  People seem to not be able to converse without either name calling, or just being nasty.
human
That's fair, I try to find the humor in politics though. Like the president of Indonesia releasing 3 pop albums while in office.
gpt
That is crazy.  I enjoy political satire quite a bit.  Along with bizarre facts like since 1900 the taller candidate won the election for us president 75% of the time
human
Lincoln must have had an easy time then ahah. Although a lot of things have changed since older days. We used to automatically elect the runner up to be vice president, good thing that hasn't stayed.
gpt
Voter turnout hasnt gotten over 63% in the last 100 years.  Maybe new policies would change that.
human
That's true, hopefully it increases somehow. Maybe it's a problem with the polls themselves, Nevada actually has a ["none of these candidates" option, maybe people would prefer that.
gpt
There are times I would have enjoyed that.  Knowing that I didnt have to choose, and maybe if enough people selected that option, we could go back to the drawing board and find new ones.
human
Exactly, or you could take it even further. In ancient Athens, officials were picked by a lottery system because they felt elections would lead to an oligarchy.
gpt
That could prove to be interesting, kinda like the fact the white house still uses floppy disks to store files.  I didnt know they even still made those.
human
*takes a step back* Yeah maybe they should improve technology elsewhere. I remember they took four days to even realize the White House had been struck by bullets on 9/11.
gpt
*hands at sides* With twin buildings in both Ireland and France, you think they would be extra aware of security.  I don't know how accessible those buildings are to the public through,
human
I'd hope they're more aware of those buildings at least. I wonder if they're bigger than the presidential guest house, which is somehow bigger than the actual White House.
gpt
I don't know, but that is kinda crazy.  Is anything else housed there other than the guest house?
human
I'm not sure! I know they put in work on it, George W. Bush installed solar panels there once.
gpt
He must have been on the same mindset as Teddy Roosevelt, who banned Christmas trees because he was a conservationalist.
human
It's interesting how people bring their personal beliefs into the office, sometimes I think it can make them lose credibility. Then again, can't be seen less seriously than President Banana of Zimbabwe.
gpt
Does that word have a different meaning there?  I mean I have a hard time taking that seriously.  
human
I have no idea, I'm sure it must be a traditional name or something. I wonder if he was rich, did you know  Trump isn't even one of the three wealthiest presidents of US history?
gpt
*takes a step forward* Really?  I wonder if they account for inflation when calculating things like that.
