anybody else have a huge problem with the electoral votes?
Ex. Rhode Island’s population is 1 mil?
Texas is 25 million?
RI has 4 votes and texas has 38?
RI has 4 and montana has 3 with a population difference of like 5,000 ppl.
this whole system is mad.
I agree.
What the heck is LVWMWMIBMW (Institute)?
Dude how the hell did you write upside down?

Please tell me that Bush thing is not the Onion.
Lichtenstein while perhaps amenable to libertarian ideology can’t become a player on the world stage. It would be equivalent to a libertarian expat center. And because english isn’t spoken there, ultimately marginalized. It will always remain under the shadow of political control by the EU due to its geography.
As for Honduras, the plan was shot down by the Honduran supreme court. It’s a no-go.
Eh? Dubai tho. The city imploded financially since the crash, it’s a ghost-town.
You won’t be free in China. Period.
Mmm. Or you could join a seastead and build a lasting place full of libertarians. A place that will carry our preferred way of living into the future. Blueseed launches next year, thousands of people living in a jurisdiction-free society. Next year, it begins.
I want to start one too, more los angeles centered perhaps 
Nah, shows how far the L part has come. The margin of loss in Florida is roughly the number of votes cast for Johnson. This will pull the repubs towards our direction, force them to try to appeal to libertarians. Similarly, the left will want to try to appeal to use too.
Four more years of Obama will make the right crazy, which means they’ll be receptive to the libertarian message. I’ve already had a couple friends open up to me about seasteading the minute Obama was announced winner. And they seem to be taking it seriously as an option.
Beyond that there’s the healthcare law which will go into effect, and become a disaster by year four, exploding budgets, being an all-around pain, etc. The right will be receptive to libertarian talking points on healthcare, and we’ll hammer them for continually compromising on healthcare over the years. At last they will be forced to make the abolition argument and to see that they’ve helped get the country here. Even if they can’t muster the votes to actually kill obamacare, they’ll be pulled inexorably towards the libertarian argument for abolishment, and will listen to the principles we espouse regarding it.
Beyond that, this loss, which should’ve been a pretty easy victory for a Republican given the economy and unemployment, means the repubs will have a crisis of confidence. Which means more receptivity to new ideas. Which means renewed chances to infiltrate the repub party and sieze the organs of power.
Johnson is going to keep campaigning throughout 2013, doing speeches all over the country, and if we’re lucky he’ll keep campaing for '14, ‘15’, and into '16 as the new nominee. And the right will be receptive generally.
By 2016, if libertarians can pull 2% - 5% of the vote, we become king-makers. And king-makers are powerful 
I mention the election in my latest News Aura segment (sorry, have to toot my horn a little):

It’s amazing that Canadians know so much about American politics…
What do they really know, other than the names of the candidates and whether they are a Republican or Democrat?
Obama said,
Best for who? The people who gave us PATRIOT Act, TARP, MCA, NDAA, millimeter wave scanners etc. etc. (Alex Jones can provide a complete list)? If what they have planned for us is “even better”, I’d rather they just keep it to themselves. It’s like there’s a tsunami coming and we’re the only people looking out to sea. I’d be better off if I had never turned around to begin with.

Anenome, why do you think Gary Johnson is a libertarian?
He isn’t. He’s a statist with a…small…miniscule…libertarian-leaning view.
He says he’d be okay with “humanitarian wars,” he doesn’t want to end the Fed he wants to audit the Fed, and he doesn’t mind Gitmo Bay. He also doesn’t want to legalize hard drugs, just Mary Jane.
Some libertarian.
