Re: [AFMUG] OT: Definite Political: The Election

[Bill Prince]

The two party system makes it worse. Back in the 50s the powers that be felt there was not enough distinction between the two parties, and many arguments and issues have since been defined to drive a wedge between extreme views.

Something that we've instituted in California is the "top two" primary system that allows the top two vote getters in a primary to go on to the general election. The idea was to try to move primary candidates to less extreme positions. It's actually worked somewhat, but I would have been happier with a top three system.

Right now Puerto Rico is between a rock and a hard place. They really got the shaft after Maria.

Probably one of those grass is greener deals. We have the vote and look at what a mess we have made of it. I live in Texas as you know. If you are in Texas and lean Libretarian or Democrat you only have a say in local elections, not in statewide elections or for the most part even house seats. The same but opposite in the left leaning states. Your vote only really counts in the purple states.

Of course Libertarians are screwed no matter where they live since we all are stuck in the two party system. I wish ranked non party primary voting would be instituted but because the two parties that would likely be hurt the most would have to implement it that won't happen.

I dunno, if I was going to start a new business that was conducive to being in PR and it was going to make a lot of money, they don’t have federal income tax.

My understanding is that it is non-binding. I personally think it might be good for them, but I believe that it would require a vote of congress.
