Senate The US Politics discussion

Got it in one!

 

In most states, since we do not have equal ballot access, we are a convention nominating party rather than primary nominations. We do use approval voting and include NOTA as an option. I *LOVE* it.

Unsurprising though.

What, convincing a nation of the virtues of faux-ideological selfishness?

Yes, I think saving them from making a breathtakingly stupid mistake that learns nothing from history is a wicked gesture. Communism was ace and awesome and didn't fail in 100% of attempted applications and if it did that was because they didn't have memes and the hope of millennials who basically invented idealism.

 

Nothing energizes a terrorist organisation more then when the political leadership of a target country announces/tweets (jesus **** this is actually thing) that any terrorist attack will have immediate and dire consequences for the policy of that country, particularly when the consequences are the alienation of a group which the terrorist organization wants to recruit. It's like telling an internet troll that any further trolling will result in the user being very upset and quitting their account.

 

To be fair though, it's not like there's any body of experts studying radicalism in the US government, who could provide timely advice.

(Though Trump, being Peak America, wouldn't listen to the experts and their fancy book learnin', anyway).

 

post peak. 20 years post peak

 

Ender Sai I'm sorry, in what way is removing the boot of government from your head and allowing humans to flourish on their own, as we naturally would without a babysitter watching us all the time, selfish?

The obvious answer is "because social contract."

 

yes, he sells p1zza

 

This thread has gained about 400-500 pages since November!

 

Milo is starting his own media venture. This will be interesting.

 

If you believe in current scientific theory, humans evolved as social animals in groups that self-regulated the behavior of their members, as seen in modern-day primates. If you ascribe to some alternative creation-based theory, then whatever said creator was was also able to monitor our actions. In either case, humanity has always "naturally" had a babysitter.

 

I'll check out that link--thanks!

 

Out of curiosity, how many here believe the current political turmoil in the US is irreversible?

 

That would be a stupid belief to have. Nothing is irreversible.

 

Nonsense, plenty of things are irreversible.

 

That's incredibly naive. History is littered with political system, that, in end collapsed because it reached the point of no return.

 

Most libertarians have zero understanding of the word. Similar to anarchists.

 

I don't trust real hardline libertarians. They seem like normalized anarchists. I was listening to a Gary Johnson speech when he was campaigning, and he was actually booed for being pro driver licensing.

 

Even Ayn Rand accepted some form of government and welfare for the most vulnerable members of society. Some 'libertarians' seem to forget that.

 

I hate to keep posting this dude. But this is his disingenuous resignation. He plays a victim card, and it could have made him a sympathetic person but he then of course take lil shots at the media and what not, and he makes this comment about it being his decision to leave when in fact people at Breitbart threatened to quit if he stayed, then calls it a media witch hunt. And of course claims to be a warrior for free speech to hide behind.

 

The guy is an actor. Plays the role of the villain for commercial reasons.
