At the same time, the way that the EC favors the GOP causes the spoiler effect of the Green Party to be amplified compared to Libertarians.

One day we might even be able to elect a candidate who isn’t the “lesser evil”
Literally impossible in the US unless one of two things happen. Either:
-
Both the current major parties fracture, and the resulting two parties that will occur thereafter align themselves on axes that are dissimilar to the ones that the current two parties are aligned on, or
-
Laws are passed to remove FPTP and winner take all so that not voting for a Republican or Democrat has an actual influence on the vote.
The current system in the US is statistically proven to result in two majority parties controlling the government. The only effect that voting third-party does now is to spoil the votes for the majority-party candidate most closely aligned with that third-party.

To make astronomically large spaces fit in the game engine from 2009, they made everything infinitesimally small.
In fairness, when Star Citizen first went in to development CE3 was a modern engine.

Same thing as Trump.
Doesn't matter how perfect your contract is, as long as they can afford to fight the lawsuit longer than you you're gonna lose.
You'd think people would learn to not contract with these assholes at all.

They wrote about heroes saving the world, therefore they wrote good.
That what they wrote is so memorable to us means they wrote well.

Typical right-wing rhetoric:
Go back to the country you came from!
Also:
If you don't love this country, leave it!

"Disenchanted Republicans" aren't the fascists. They're the ones who don't want to vote for the fascists, but have been swayed by fifty years of Republican propaganda to be uncomfortable voting for Democrats.
If you want to de-polarize this country, reaching these people is vital. They need to start realizing they have to vote for ideas not parties.

If you get killed by a robot, you can at least die knowing your death was the logical option and not a result of drunk driving, road rage, poor vehicle maintenance, panic, or any other of the dozens of ways humans are bad at decision-making.

What a ding dong.
Tech-savvy enough to "hack" the SEC, has to Google "How do I know if the FBI is on to me?".

You know what's really stupid?
Every American who has private insurance right now, could pay that exact same amount instead to the federal government and let it pay our medical bills, and it would result in more people getting care and less cost for the healthcare industry.
Of course, for some reason, some people are strongly opposed to the destruction of a multi-billion-dollar rent-seeking middleman industry and also opposed to healthcare going to certain, shall we say, melaninistically-blessed Americans.

Health insurance industry.
Most people in healthcare hate them too.

Convincing Republican voters it's okay to vote for a Democrat when the Republican candidate is a fascist is a political strategy, yes.
Glad you seem to understand that.

He lied.
Saying things you know aren't true is lying.
Stop using soft language to downplay the threat the GOP represents.

HORSE RACE
A Warhammer 40,000 space marine is not just your usual sci-fi super soldier. They are hulking behemoths, 10 feet tall (and about 10 feet wide too). They don't move like people, they move like freight trains. They have the physical bearing of an industrial freezer unit and the emotional intelligence of a crocodile. They do not retreat and they do not surrender, and their 9-to-5 is fighting the worst things you can possibly imagine over and over in a completely futile forever-war.
