2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumThe Libertarian Party has a great Star Trek parody TV ad up online.
It shows how terrible & polluted & covered with oil derricks our cities will be under Trump or Clinton and then contrasts those images with how pristine and green our cities will be under him. Because if there's one thing we can all agree on, it's that deregulation and small government always leads to cleaner environments and a lack of commercial activities in public spaces.
Then the ad shows the shoddily built fake USS Enterprise blowing up because it was built by big government. Because, as history has shown, it is the lack of industrial regulation that leads to greater workplace safety.
Thanks for those timely reminders, Gary Johnson. But I'm not sure your extended nonsequitered Star Trek fantasies are helping build the case that being a lifelong stoner hasn't impaired your thinking.
(Bonus amusement: the run time on this ad is, of course, 4:20)

There is no Star Trek. All the starship captains turn on each other to become ruler the galaxy.
