Opposing Trump Trade War (TTW?) wasn't going to resurrect TPP wasn't going to resurrect TPP. I doubt Biden has the stomach for that either. Most people hate boondoggles, and we've noticed ISDS.

This whole thread is a thought experiment. I made a single simplifying assumption, for the sake of clarifying the particular qualities of that thought experiment: that voters would understand the policies of the second and third parties to

"Online" used to mean "not batch-processed". Most of their games reacted immediately to player input, so in that sense they weren't batch programs. This plausible explanation might not have anything to do with the a

I'm voting mostly Green with a tiny bit of Democrat this time, but I've voted Libertarian before. Libertarians seem to agree with Greens on the single most important issue to me: that we should not fight stupid wars for no good re

Assume for the sake of argument that the policy of the "third" party is just like that of the "second" of the two "main" parties. In that case, it's true that the second party could be eliminated in the in

This is why it's opposed by both faces of the status quo party. Once a third party gets to 10% for a given office, there won't be much stopping it from getting to 40% in the next election for that office.

E&Y strike again! Any record that includes both CUC and WeWork betrays a deep rot. The Big 5 became the Big 4, not too long after the events of TFA. Why shouldn't E&Y be killed by the courts? https://news.ycombinator

The position has existed for 15 years. The longest tenure, seven years, was that of James Clapper. The first line in his obituary will reference his infamous perjury before Congress. Every other DNI is also a professional liar, and partisan

I agree. "Deconstructed" is better since Mehdi moved somewhat on to greener pastures. Anyway, neither Grim nor Scahill seem to have disagreed much with Greenwald, that I can recall. He certainly enjoyed this episode of "Inter

A "conspiracy theory" is when one believes in hidden events without evidence. For example, the idea that Trump and Russia "colluded" [what would that even mean?], of which we've never seen any verifiable evidence. T

Just look here on this page. Lots of people who would decry censorship and cruelty on the part of some nations, are here arguing in support of the same qualities of the nation that could do the most harm to them.
