Definitely.

2018-05-07 05:52:01 UTC  

did you see their debates

2018-05-07 05:52:07 UTC  

..Do I even want to know.

2018-05-07 05:52:30 UTC  

Closest thing to following the libertarian party I've done is seeing what rand paul's been doing.

2018-05-07 05:53:02 UTC  

yeah, funny though because both political parties are going through ideological changes rn

2018-05-07 05:53:26 UTC  

conservatism is changing

2018-05-07 05:53:31 UTC  

And the two party system was a mistake.

2018-05-07 05:53:36 UTC  

Maybe we'll be lucky and it'll dissolve after this.

2018-05-07 05:53:38 UTC  

i don't know about that

2018-05-07 05:53:46 UTC  

I doubt it'll happen. But I can dream.

2018-05-07 05:53:54 UTC  

imagine all of the gridlock with many parties

2018-05-07 05:54:03 UTC  

having to form coalitions like in Europe

2018-05-07 05:54:09 UTC  

that's not good

2018-05-07 05:54:45 UTC  

Maybe. Excess bureaucracy's kind of just one of those side effects nobody's really figured out how to fix in a system that tries to be clean but. Well the system in place right now definitely isn't anything remotely close to that.

2018-05-07 05:54:59 UTC  

Two party system but it's still in a near constant state of gridlock.

2018-05-07 05:56:30 UTC  

the failure of the libertarian party could also be a reflection of the fact that people might just inherently gravitate towards authority

2018-05-07 05:56:47 UTC  

We either need a serious third contender or a dissolution of political parties.

2018-05-07 05:56:53 UTC  

Hell

2018-05-07 05:56:54 UTC  

ergo giant bureaucracy

2018-05-07 05:56:56 UTC  

I'd settle for a second.

2018-05-07 05:57:25 UTC  

dissolution of political parties isn't realistic

2018-05-07 05:57:33 UTC  

I know it's not.

2018-05-07 05:57:34 UTC  

humans form groups

2018-05-07 05:57:42 UTC  

And a full unfiltered democracy would be nothing short of terrifying.

2018-05-07 05:57:46 UTC  

yeah

2018-05-07 05:57:49 UTC  

It's nearly impossible to ask someone with power to give up power.

2018-05-07 05:58:18 UTC  

I mean, look at all the people lemming for Net neutrality to be kept in place, just shows the mob is retarded

2018-05-07 05:58:47 UTC  

Yeah, until you realize that Net Neutrality wasn't really officially a legal concept until during obama's second term

2018-05-07 05:58:59 UTC  

and that the internet did just fine without it thank you very much.

2018-05-07 05:59:02 UTC  

A fair number of the people arguing for net neutrality are definitely doing it in idiotic ways but the concept still isn't bad unfortunately.

2018-05-07 05:59:11 UTC  

yes it is

2018-05-07 05:59:18 UTC  

net neutrality is bad

2018-05-07 05:59:37 UTC  

Well okay, let me rephrase.

2018-05-07 05:59:37 UTC  

Purely from an open market perspective, it's bad.

2018-05-07 05:59:47 UTC  

Net neutrality isn't great. But the alternative is much worse.

2018-05-07 05:59:57 UTC  

Is it?

2018-05-07 05:59:57 UTC  

also wrong

2018-05-07 06:00:17 UTC  

Giant corporations that game the system and change laws to benefit themselves while screwing over anyone smaller than them.

2018-05-07 06:00:26 UTC  

The problem in place is the inability for a startup internet provider to be able to operate.

2018-05-07 06:00:36 UTC  

Stories of tiny ISPs trying to make ground getting shafted when they're basically legally crushed by the likes of comcast and verizon.

2018-05-07 06:00:36 UTC  

The market needs more freedom, not more restrictions.
