    Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

      And I'm looking for dialog on issues.

      These are problems because ...
      You're a libertarian and you're wanting to discuss taking away an individual right and giving it to the government. An idea that gets solely floated by government officials in states controlled entirely by the GOP.

      Ok...

          Let’s try fixing the actual problem.

          Libertarians aren’t very bright and contradict themselves all the time so probably.

                  Yes, because what this country needs is more winner-take-all, no compromise contests. That will surely fix things.

                  Seriously, it's good that purple states can have a senator from each party.
                  If you don't change the world today, how can it be any better tomorrow?

                    I guess it's all relative when it comes to the Carolinas.

                        No to court packing. We're not going FDR on the bit.

                        Otherwise, fine. Go for it. See how far you get.

                          Agreed but I’m sure the appeal to authority of losers types will tell us why they shouldn’t even try

                              I'm fine with the statehoods (PR especially), electoral, not so sure about.
