There is one very specific area of DC where crime is actually rising. Maybe they should do something about that.

Well, at least he didn’t give him Alaska. The bar is that low.

I would really love to see one, but there is none. The Greens and Libertarians aren’t it, and the America Party certainly isn’t it.

There should be a broad party with just these four issues:

• Fix the broken electoral system
• Fight government corruption
• Restore the rule of law (hold powerful criminals accountable)
• Healthcare

Run good, credible candidates for every seat on every level, and I don’t see how you can lose.

Well, unless the media ignores you, which will probably happen.

Republicans rarely have a majority of the congressional votes. They get their majority in Congress from uneven representation and gerrymandering. In proportional representation, they’d lose their majority.

It is different, and I would indeed argue it’s better. And let’s face it, you are mostly voting for parties anyway. How many independents are there really?

But if you want to have district representatives, you could do a hybrid system where half the seats are assigned by district, and the other half are assigned from a national list to fill out the proportionality.

Republicans would be getting most of their seats from districts, Greens and Libertarians would get them entirely from the national list, but at least they’d get representation.

In fact, the US actively opposes the ICC and has made Microsoft block the chief prosecutor’s email

Very well documented is the fact that in the 1980s, Israel supported Hamas to undermine the PLO, because the PLO wanted a two-state solution and Hamas and Israel did not. Hamas has long provided Israel with the excuse to keep escalating.

Star Wars being incredibly prescient.

Get rid of districts and fill Congress through proportional representation. That solves so many problems.

Way back when I was a student, I was at a girl’s place for some project we had to do together, and she (and this is going to date me) showed off her stereo setup that she had hooked up to her PC to play Wolfenstein 3D. Later we also ended up watching TV on her couch together.

It took a decade before that quarter finally dropped.
