There are political forums available if one wants that.  This isn’t one.

John I recall plenty of political meta-discussions, but in all those years, I seldom recall anyone continually promoting one of the mainstream parties.  ExI was started as a libertarian’s transhumanist site.  Over time, it drifted away from hardcore libertarianism to be more inclusive.  

 

I can see a political discussion on such things as the Russians promoting (successfully) the worst candidate in both of the mainstream parties, or the apparent convergence of the mainstream parties, or the coming catastrophe as the yanks struggle to deal with decades of massive government overspending and overcommitting.  But I don’t see either of the mainstream parties having any big insights on that problem.
