if it were a life or death situation, and the only way to save your life, is to kiss a politician on the cheek, and say, "You're my best friend I love you " ?

Bernie Sanders, no question

Consensual?

I'll take one for the team. Dress in a string bikini, hairy man ass hanging out, slap on some lipstick, kiss Donald Trump during a live press briefing and make it super sensual. Make it seem like we're lovers. "You're my...." look at cameras "best friend.... I... I... love you." run away weeping That could cost him a few thousand votes, which might be enough to swing the election if they're in a key district.

Or Angela Merkel. She has a twinkle in her eye.

I choose death

I'd kiss Matt Gaetzs weird lookin bitch ass . He's so weird looking man... like dam

I put his face in a photo distort app and it actually fixed it LOL like how the fuck is that even possible

AOC of course. She's fine. Bonus points if I get to put my dick in Johnson's mouth.

AOC or Bernie Sanders

If it's a life-or-death situation then literally any politican. Trump, Putin, Kim Jong Un. I wouldn't give a damn. Obviously people would know I'm just trying to save my own life.

But since I get to pick any the first that comes to mind is our ex prime minister Sanna Marin.

I'm German, so I'm probably kissing former European Left Party President and current MP Gregor Gysi.

• I don't want to sexually assault anyone, and I think he would find it funny more than anything else
• I don't want to do it maliciously to like make someone look bad and with his demeanor everyone will be like "it's nice how chill he handled that"
• I think he did important work so I wouldn't at all mind being seen with him in public

The only real other option would be Green Party MP Bruno Hönel because he's the only gay MP I find cute and maybe I can sneak his number...

They into it? Sanna Marin. They not into it? Ted Cruz

Trump.

And then I would go on to say "of course we were more than friends though werent we Donny baby... Epstein may have intruduced us when I was 15 but... nobody has ever fucked me so well." Then snotty bawling and begging him to take me one more time while hungrily backing at him arse first with my pants around my ankles.

Pick any random Jihadist from the Republican army of the Oligarchy, doesn't matter which. Making any of those corrupt call girl/persons look a tiny bit more morally dubious could help. Probably not because their entire voter base lacks fundamental logic skills.

Then I'd land one on AOC off camera.

My senator, Ron Wyden, would be a good choice. He has a sense of humor (I've met him) and really respectable politics. I'd feel no shame about doing this.

I choose honorable death from not doing that

Pretty easy that, I'd go with Lisa Nandy.

Depends on what kind of "life or death" situation I guess... If I'm the only one in danger then I guess I'd be done for. If others will suffer then I'd probably pucker up

I know OP says it's not serious, it's silly, but I can't help but wonder how to do this as strategically as possible....

As a man. It cannot be a woman or there would be some crazy-ass allegations of assault, non-consensual touching, etc. Which would be true. And easily proven, with live broadcast. And AOC is off-limits, buzzkill!!

I would throw on all kinds of makeup & a vibrant (but non-threatening) dress, and a crazy color wig but in a tasteful hairstyle, and make myself unrecognizable. Use a fake voice. I'd be just another face in the LGBTQIA+ crowd. I would choose Dr. Rachel Levine.

It is outrageous behavior, but when everything is outrageous, naturally for Dr. Rachel Levine something of this nature would be a slightly unusual Thursday afternoon occurrence. There would be no outrage, scandal, or backlash. It would probably make Dr. Rachel Levine's day. It would be a live broadcast, but I don't think it would be newsworthy. And most importantly, no way in hell anyone would recognize me in full-blown drag. Everybody wins, I get to live.

Who's that one prime minister from NZ?

If the choice is life or death, I'd say/do what I need to say/do to keep my life, to the vast majority of politicians whether or not I like them.

...there are a few that I'd be tempted to take the opportunity to instead go for the jugular, even if doing so would come at the cost of my own life.

Would probably come down to where I fall on the depression-fuck-it scale at the time.

You can't just eliminate a big swath of politicians like that. Not and have the question be worth asking.

Yeah, you have to limit it to actual politicians, not their families. But ffs, who wouldn't shove their tongue down Trudeau's throat on camera? The man is pretty.

Obviously Tammy Duckworth is in the running, but local Chicago up-and-comer Anthony Joel Quezada would be my first choice.

Is the kiss consensual for the other person?

Sinema, so long as I get to lean in and whisper in her ear that the lgbt+ community has effectively excommunicated her :)

Cory Booker. I could see him saying it back, and that'd be nice.

It depends: how much time do I have to find a politician to kiss?

i'd do it to Nancy just to see her blush
