Discussion
It’s so funny some people are calling me divisive or saying I’m stoking division by calling things out as they are.
Here i am welcoming my worst enemies into bitcoin.

I think you’re on to something with the third party discussion. Once you really look at the money, you realize both sides are trapped in the same system. Neither can help us in the way we need. At some point, we have to take a hard look at how our government actually functions and ask if that’s the legacy we want to leave behind.
Third parties are notoriously difficult to move forward, but there are groups trying. If you’re serious about this, or know someone who is, I’d recommend looking at the Independent Center. Their strategy is to put independent candidates into Congress to act as a swing minority. They wouldn’t caucus with Democrats or Republicans, only with each other, which would give them leverage to secure real concessions. Here’s their site: https://www.independentcenter.org/team
That said, I think we also need to think bigger. We already live in a time where you can opt out of broken money. You can opt out of corporate-led social media. Why not think about civic structures we could opt out of too? We don’t have to inherit a system that’s crumbling. We can start imagining new ways society might function, new legacies worth leaving behind.
I wrote an essay about one possible model, though it doesn’t have to be this idea in particular. What I believe matters is starting the conversation: https://primal.net/e/naddr1qqnhg6r9943kzum994nx7u3dvykhvmmvw4h8gctj0ykkx6tkd93j6urjda6x7cm0dspzptsw8qm9djdrgsvswfey5pgmycgdu8fz5unuh6ddzu92y3x869yhqvzqqqr4gu9tp8k3
