Hello, do you follow politics?

Hi, it's hard not to these days with everything going on in the news.
human
I agree. Did you know there hasn't been a president who wasn't a republican or democrat since 1853?
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* Wow I did not know it has been that long. I really think Bernie should run as an independent and not as democrat. The fear is always splitting the vote, but that happens anyway.
human
*takes a step forward* Yep that's true. Every president with a beard has always been a republican.
gpt
Really? I guess you're right. Of course the gop used to be completely different than the mess they are today. Only recently I discovered GOP stands for grand old party...
human
Oh wow I didn't know it stood for that either. The last time a republican was elected president without a Nixon or Bush on the ticket was back in 1928.
gpt
*eyes widen* Crazy, although I don't think there will be a Bush in 2020. Did you know when Hillary was in college she was president of young republicans?
human
*opens mouth slightly* That's hilarious. I did not know that about her. 
gpt
*eyes widen* Yeah, the Republican party was a lot different more recently than people think. In fact Nixon was the only president ever to propose a guaranteed min income. Now people would probably like to reduce min wage to $2 an hour or something crazy. 
human
Oh wow I didn't know that either. I saw the red and blue colors associated with each party didn't start until 2000.
gpt
That is crazy. So recently yet it feels like they've always been that way. I think they should change the voting system so the popular vote counts for more.
human
Yea I'm not too sure what would work these days for the election. 
gpt
*takes a step back* Elections are a mess, not just presidential. A dog has not only won an election for mayor but served as a mayor for 13 years! Dogs don't even live much past 13 lol.
human
I agree. LOL - that's pretty funny! During the 2012 US elections, international observers were blocked from the polls in nine states.

I can only imagine what 2020 is going to be like. Hopefully by then they start allowing you to vote online. I can't imagine it would be that hard. In Oregon elections are done by mail. Online would be a natural progression.
human
*takes a step forward* I agree. Since 1900, the taller candidate has won the election by 75%.
gpt
I guess if you're short it's barely worth running. Subconscious perceptions most likely or it's just a fluke.
human
*relaxed posture* LOL yep. I heard that is actually the case for interviews too.
gpt
There are certainly some weird facts. The faster blinker has in debates has lost every presidential election since 1980. I can't see how blinking speed would effect public opinion?
