          I followed and am sympathetic to libertarianism "generally" (I actually spent 3 days traveling w/ Ron Paul in '88) but you should know I find Ayn Rand to be the most pathetic phony to have ever soiled the American mind

          That's where we differ -- I wouldn't exactly call Rand gospel, but a lot of core principles - objectivism, individualism, etc. are rooted in her philosophy. Anyway, if you care about election reform it is libertarians who are leading the charge.

          "hard" economic libertarianism has become a disease- mostly a justification for a darwinian construct of greed. all economies are man made constructs- even if we need an econ. structure that shows no direct preference in the marketplace

          Clearly, you do not understand how capitalism works. Free markets *do not have* preference, it's agnostic and based on consumer demand. Not sure how you turned your interest in election reform into a socialist anti-markets diatribe?pic.twitter.com/lP6gQ3QW1H

          what part of your "insightful gaze" missed:"even if we need an econ. structure that shows no direct preference in the marketplace"? I know very well how capitalism works Sonnyboy & also that it isnt working for the working poor. Reviewed statistics on wealth concentration lately?

          Betsy Devos could owe Michigan $2.4 million in taxes on her yacht but she avoids paying it & exempts herself from stricter U.S. inspection, safety & labor standards by flying a Cayman flag on it. Remember that the next time a teacher crowdfunds their classroom for supplies.

          He got the sense of partisanship down pat. Even though the parties don't hold as deep a sway here as they do in Britain, they still corrupt our elections and distort how we frame issues. It's not hard to see that partisan politics run counter to reason and even basic morals.

          Of course it's a warning to the GOP, who nationally seem willing to sacrifice freedom for victory, not for good purpose but for vanity. The DNC already fell in that regard. Their story is more complicated, but classical liberal principles were still compromised.
