If this existence is all some sort of a really complex TV Show for computer AI, I would find it very funny if there was a scene where Trump and Clinton secretly plan about how to get a Democrat in the white house, meanwhile Thiel and Gary Johnson hatch a plan (after Trump's early success at torpedoing the GOP nomination process) to back Trump so that the disaffected GOP members go Libertarian and break the two party race that has been dominating American politics; but Gary is so anti-war and pro-pot that he pulls enough younger democrats off Hilary in just the wrong states to where Trump actually wins the electoral college votes even though by the popular vote Clinton still wins.

- grandalf 10y agoI've been hoping this sort of thing happens for about a decade now. The split between the parties is indeed not natural, and the general values of "liberalism" are pretty much absent from both parties, but more and more younger votes care more about liberalism than about labor, defense, and protectionism (the causes that the major parties squabble over the details of).
- kordless 10y agoThe split between the parties is a result of stored societal dissonance which was previously not a "natural" arising event before the arrival of the Internet. Search and watch "this video will make you angry" for more context.
