I think we're seeing that in the Dem party
nah, I don't new parties are going to spring up
unless, somehow an alternative voting system was implementated across the nation, on a statewide level
like what?
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
