Pope Leo XIV has submitted a mail-in ballot for the US midterms, becoming the first pope to vote in a US election and likely the first to vote in a secular democratic election.
US voter turnout is appalling. Of course part of it is voter suppression but that a third desperately wanted their team’s fascist rapist misogynist in power, a third desperately didn’t, and the last third were just kinda ok with it? JFC.
In today’s overly litigious legal environment, one must cover one’s own ass by never saying “never.” Occasionally the “extremely unlikely” or even “impossible” rears it’s ugly head, and someone will find a way to sue & profit from it.
Duh, he’s the first American Pope… of course he’d be the first Pope to be eligible to vote in an American election.
Then go do some actual research and find out or leave out the conjecture.
Shit tier “news”.
The Pope actually bothered to vote while a full third of the country stood by and did nothing while fascism rolled in.
Thats the real news.
