It never ceases to amaze me just how damn PRESCIENT The Founders were - Washington in particular- about partisanship and political tribalism.

that earned a damn follow. Elections reform is my holy grail. You nailed it and the founders really did, to a damn man

If you're not aware of it, check into
@OurAmericaInfo. It's an organization with a bunch of notable libertarians on the board (including Gary Johnson & Bill Weld), with the purpose of fighting the duopoly's lock on ballot access & debates. https://www.ouramericainitiativefoundation.com -
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?

Congressman, I hope you will heed President Washington's words and oppose the wannabe strongman that currently occupies and daily disgraces the office of the president.

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.
