what they're implementing in maine right now

FPTP does not encourage multiple parties

*sigh*

```A few years back, I was on a transhumanist mailing list where a small group espousing "social democratic transhumanism" vitriolically insulted every libertarian on the list. Most libertarians left the mailing list, most of the others gave up on posting. As a result, the remaining group shifted substantially to the left. ```

Funny how that seems to work.

```Evaporative cooling sets up a potential energy barrier around a collection of hot atoms. Thermal energy is essentially statistical in nature—not all atoms are moving at the exact same speed. The kinetic energy of any given atom varies as the atoms collide with each other. If you set up a potential energy barrier that's just a little higher than the average thermal energy, the workings of chance will give an occasional atom a kinetic energy high enough to escape the trap. When an unusually fast atom escapes, it takes with an unusually large amount of kinetic energy, and the average energy decreases. The group becomes substantially cooler than the potential energy barrier around it.```

When a group insults all but a small inner circle and alienates everyone else, the remains are always left wing

The argument is when X group with Y beliefs continue to have their believes proven to be incorrect, it's the *moderates* who fall away from the group

The ones whom are more outspoken and open advocates for those beliefs wind up becoming *more* fanatical about them

And because the moderates have left the group, the group as a whole becomes even more extreme

@LordCaledus that's why you have to be "right wing"

otherwise lefties are going to come in and subvert

radical centrist for life

I mean I actually do lean right

Pretty close to where Ben Shapiro is at, politically

I feel like it's similar to how an air conditioner works, extracting the hot air away from the unit in order to keep it cool, rather than melting the entire thing down

Or even the way a pot boils

@LordCaledus I'm not talking about you as a person, but in terms of groups and organizations

If such group is not explicitly right wing, it will eventually become left wing

that party will die out

i had a sliced beef, montreal smoked meat sandwich with bbq sauce

heart attack soon

Lol. The dumpster fire DNC campaign ad.

That was pretty funny

that's a party meeting

Same thing, really, all dumpster fires.

Don't think I can link yet, due to lack of role.

copy paste link

Might not work.

Links are likely banned unless you have a role, and I'm not about to test it out. Bots can be evil things.

true

but that party is going to die in 20 years

I figure it's going to split and turn into the NDP/Liberal parties like Canada.

Both are progressive though. :|

yeah but that quasi 2 party system wont allow it

that vid has been up like 3 times @Fitzydog

lol I should have looked first

Guess what it didn't pass?

Customs. Huehue.
