am i becoming a hippie?

bert blew up the house, really stinks

as often as i take those and find myself sometimes aligned with libertarianism, its a lot like socialism in the sense that its a theory that could never work in the real world.
also, the green party panders to holistic healing

friday after work trip to costco
shouldnt go friday after work

Always go on payday so if doesn't hurt as bad

i was thinking more the crowds. much better to hit it when they open on saturday/sunday. they dont have all the free food at every aisle yet so its less congested and there is clearly a line of 10 people at every register. i only spend $220!

Yeah true, but our costco never gets that bad due to where we live lol

i got 13% bernie and 31% hillary

75% gary j

but far and away djt

trump stands for everything that is wrong with people
clinton is everything that is wrong with politicians
cant win this one folks, pack it up

if gary johnson gets 10% of the vote in some states, then independent candidates get more leverage for debating with reps and dems. i would call this a win

the green party used to flirt around the 5% range. no 3rd party will ever hit 10%, it's clearly a decision that enough people will make. the first past the poop system will forever be a 2 party system, because in the end, a 3rd party will always hurt from what it's closest to and empower the party it's furthest from. the 2000 election and green party taught every young person on the left this lesson. the 1992 election did the same for the right. every few elections the idea crops up again though because the idea of more than 2 entrenched parties is positive imo, but our system will clearly reward this approach.

also, the hardest part to quantify and rationalize is that the vocal minority usually sounds like the majority, but they are no where close to it. look at the dem race to see it in full force. bernie crowds would leave anyone to think they have the followers but in reality HRC had like 3mil more votes. its basically what fox news does to the conservative message. they scream really loud and throw tantrums, but the silent majority is clearly in tune with this. (usually anyway, there is always an outlier)

cgp grey did a piece on why the 2 party system cant / wont be changed

i voted 3rd party last election
this cycle im inclined to just stay home because i know nothing will change nor does my vote make any difference

voting in ny in an electoral college system is pointless

will always be dem

imagine voting in oklahoma as a liberal (same thing). the real problem is we either get tyranny by the minority or majority. a state will either be dominated by the rural or the urban and neither side can really work together. and since compromise is a dirty word we only get the extremes.
