Teaberry ain’t gonna ever win even in a ranked choice system. It’s just too unpopular.
I’m too tired and drunk to read the rest of it.
To summarize, you don't want ice cream anarchy, you want an ice cream dictator who agrees with you.
I want fucking teaberry ice cream. You’re the one insisting the only way to get it is to force everyone to eat it.
You want a consensus that agrees with you and your way of doing things which cannot be obtained through a stateless society. A stateless society lacks a consensus yet still has the benefits of state based society. A dictatorship is an imposed consensus which is the only way to get what you want.
You already have teaberry ice cream. You want a teaberry dictator.
Weird. My family arrived at a consensus on what to have for dinner without needing a state to mediate….
That's a large family you have there with over 340 million people.
Maybe countries shouldn’t be that fucking big then.
Which, as it happens, is one particular teaberry I want that will never be chosen.
That's the unfun answer of getting people to agree that's on the ballot this year. 538 shows that today, that teaberry is only one point down. Best to ignore the polls and Vote Blue!

It's adorable that you think Harris is the anarchist teaberry I'm looking for.
But don't worry, I already voted for the gallon tub of store-brand vanilla-flavored frozen dessert over the turdcicle
No, Harris is the neoliberal who will incrementally improve society who is currently one point ahead. Trump the teaberry who wants to genocide as many people as possible, satisfying the condition of fewer people laid out in your argument, is currently one point behind. In other words, not in never being chosen territory.
Maybe read what we wrote when you're not drunk and tired. You aren't looking for an anarchist teaberry, because what your describing isn't what an anarchist teaberry does. But it is what a teaberry dictator does.
Congrats and thank you.
Me wanting to fuck off to the mountains and not bother or be bothered is in no way like me wanting to force everybody else to do it.
You're all forcing me to participate in this society with no option to leave.
Now I'm definitely not reading it, because it's clear we're talking past each other.
Anarchy is not a smaller country in the mountains where everyone agrees with you. That's a dictatorship. And if it's just you, you're not getting very much ice cream if any.
You're the one wanting a national ice cream flavor. edit: typos
