I asked why? That's all public info. Absolutely anyone can find that information.

The problem is setting up a society Y that you can go to.
When the US was formed, that was exactly the purpose.
Even as the US expanded, most of those willing to move west were those who wanted to remove themselves from the society present in the previous location.
Today, there's a government pretty much setup everywhere.
It's really not an easy case to pick up and move somewhere freer. We really need to talk enough folks into implementing that change.

Good question.
I would say there's a lot of groups that are anti-communist but even some of those who used to be pretty stringent are now pushing various forms of populism, which is essentially Communism-lite.
For example, Heritage recently changed positions and now say that a free market is not the ultimate goal, but a civil and secure society. So if the market isn't facilitating such a society, government should make it so.
Even the group I used to work for has started off in an odd direction. It used to be fairly libertarian then pushed a warhawk (among other problems) for president.
Crazy that I have to sit here and think this hard about who, as a groups, may be the best positioned to really push back.

Men and women's body structures are different and the separation by gender makes perfect sense in this view.
It isn't subjective at all. It's biological.
Some have tried to blur this line but there has been quite a bit of science detailing the differences between men and women for some time.
I'm fine with there being open categories. I'm fine with closed categories.
I'm not sure how I feel about government mandates, though most of this (sports) starts in government schools funded with public dollars. At least, in the US. So it is difficult to resolve it without government intervention.

You have to be firm on this and I would highly recommend you keep the TSA page, which states facial scans are voluntary, bookmarked and ready to go.
I got into it with an agent once, who believed it was mandatory. I stood firm and refused, requesting he seek guidance from his superior.
After some back and forth, he relented and allowed me to pass without the scan. But he was NOT happy about it.

Polls don't mean a lot but it's often the only measure we have.
RFK is currently around 8.7% and has been mostly unchanged since April.
Perot hit 19%, which I believe was the best performance from an independent since 1912.
RFK's best shot is to somehow wrestle the DNC nomination from Kamala. He does that, and odds change REAL fast.

I understand entirely and I've been in your boat.
I left the GOP shortly after 9/11, or rather, their response. The Patriot Act was too much.
I quickly got involved with the Libertarian party and started working for candidates there, trying to move the needle.
However, most weren't serious and it was more about visiting the library once a month to complain about government among one another. Not real change.
I've since moved back to the GOP (with Ron Paul's race in '08) because there's more I can work with here.
Since that time, I've talked to 1000s of voters, all across the nation. One of the most common responses, when asking if they'd support this person or that is, "Are they a Republican/Democrat?" That's the number one question asked about any candidate.
Roughly 80% of the electorate has their mind already made up. They'll be voting either R or D.
20% are real independents. They'll move to the candidate that they believe will do the most for their wallet and increase stability.
Can this change? Sure.
But you'll need to do a lot more work to convince others that there is a viable and better candidate. Just voting, or even donating, isn't enough. And, unfortunately, most supporters of a third party or independent usually aren't willing to put in the work to get it done (this is true among everyone really, but it harms third parties and independents more because they don't have the bases already built.)

It's been an excuse for several election cycles. And it's a valid one.

There's no such thing as a throwaway vote but he doesn't have a shot.
Vote for who you believe is the most qualified based on whatever reasons you set.
However, this isn't the year we end the two party system.

A large nunber of voters will be voting based solely on the letter following their name. That will not change in 2024.

While starting a new venture, I've done a ton of verification requests and Docusigns over the past few weeks.
This would be a great use of Nostr at some point. Just let me sign an event with my key and be done with it.
I can Photoshop an ID or ask AI to create one for me.
Signing a DocuSign document is nothing more than a couple of worthless clicks after clicking a link in my email. Granted, they're probably taking a fingerprint of my machine, but maybe my four-year-old came over to my computer and clicked it.
But if we use Nostr to sign legal events, we must keep our private keys safe.
That's why I'm thankful for projects like Amber and NSECBunker. Keeping private keys private will be imperative.
