So to be clear.. Your intent is to entice responses?

I'll treat you as though you wish to be taken seriously.

This is similar to many Dems, just vice versa with party affiliations.

If ever there were a time for a 3rd major party it'd be now. 4 parties would be ideal.

If a third party were to become a contender, which isn't happening anytime soon.. It'd eventually become as big/powerful/corrupt as the other two.

Maybe so and yes it would be very difficult for a 3rd party to contend nationally at first, but candidates could win seats in the House & Senate.
I'd be for both parties splitting at this point.
More choices would lead to accountability for the blues & reds.

It's become absurdly clannish on both sides and neither party is representing the majority of it's constituents properly.

You are just undisciplined. You said you wouldn't engage with me anymore but you keep replying to me.

I believe in your potential ability to not be a troll.

I used to be a republican, but couldn't stay on board back when they fought gay marriage and became more adamantly pro life. I can't get behind legislation based on religion.

Also with the expansion of government agencies and the Patriot act, which also eneded up requiring more taxpayer dollars.

I'm a registered libertarian now, and while some of them are out there it is the party that most aligns with my beliefs.

And while I may not be fully behind republicans now, I am wholeheartedly against democrats. The socialism agenda they're pushing is horrible. The way they treat Trump is ridiculous. I agree that he's an a-hole, but to have so much ignorant hatred that they oppose everything he says or does is crazy. And not being full on against him makes people call me the same names too. The media is just as bad. So while it pains me to say it, I hope he wins again.

Small government is passé. Republicans stopped pretending to care about that 20 years ago and Democrats never cared about it or pretended to.

Libertarians align more with my beliefs too and that’s usually how I vote. But they are also nuts. Both as a collective group and with their platform.

I think you’ll see the parties fracture:

Democrats will have the Warhawk neoliberals and the far left.
Republicans will have the “libertarians”, the populists, and the Warhawk neocons.

Still a two party system for the time being, but it seems like these lines are being drawn.

Sorry about that. I meant "here" as America in general, not California specifically, and the places I was referring to as having some success versus the virus were other countries, many of which have placed actual travel bans on us Americans.

Winning!

You might be correct.
Some of the only comments sections I ever enjoyed reading were the ones at IMDB (Internet Movie Database) and those were shut down years ago thanks to Right Wing trolls. With their literal king serving (sort of) as President, it's likely they've increased their efforts on his behalf elsewhere.

So many libertarians are pure anarchists which is just completely unrealistic.

Anarchists, gold bugs, privatization of police. You name it. Plenty of crazies.

He doesn’t need a tag in. Jd has been putting in work on some of you and will continue to do so. He got this.
