    I have sad news. The distance from LA to NYC is ~1840mi by road and the fastest speed reached by a commercial train is 268mph. It would take over 10hrs to travel that distance, assuming a nonstop trip that follows the same path as the road.

    When I hornypost, I don’t wait 10hrs to do something about it


    1. strategic voting is impossible to avoid, so it doesn’t really matter and shouldn’t be a consideration.

    2. This cycle continues till eventually GOP Candidate gets elected

    This is a big leap from just saying that some strategic voting will occur. I don’t think you’ve demonstrated this in your example.

    1. This example also still assumes 2 parties. Part of election reform would be to destroy the barriers preventing 3rd parties from running and gaining seats through proportional representation

    2. Ultimately, I want the political apparatus to be destroyed and replaced by an anarchist society. This is the best of the worst in my eyes.
