The Rise of Open-Source Politics
Incognitius writes "There's a great article in this week's The Nation about the rise of open-source politics. Never before has the top-down world of presidential campaigning been opened to a bottom-up, networked community of ordinary voters. Applied to political organizing, open source means opening up participation in planning and implementation to the community, letting competing actors evaluate the value of your plans and actions, being able to shift resources away from bad plans and bad planners and toward better ones, and expecting more of participants in return. What do you guys think, is open source a good model for politics?"
An anarchy is libertarianism taken to the extreme.
You have two hands and one brain, so always code twice as much as you think!
Hmm, that gives me an idea. We need to give everyone one vote divided by their age so a sixty year old would have half the influence of a thirty year old just to limit democracy by senility.
Your personality seems perfectly suited to being a rightwinger!

Clinton won because of Perot. He did well running for reelection because of Dick Morris, who was a damn skilled man (he was in a bad position for quite a while after his healthcare plan failed). And he's literally the exception, not the rule. It takes people like Nixon to make the democrats win one election before losing for 12 more years.
