Elsa used ice crystals at a nanoscopic scale to alter her dress during the Let It Go sequence.

Try some Ovaltine in OJ sometime (we ran out of milk). Definitely worth adding to the “trying weird shit” list.

I presented a position on the topic. You ignored it in favor of discussing my comment’s tone.

As for the concept, I considered it decades ago. The math was the same then as now, and time has only added those decades of supporting evidence.

Ridicule of the ridiculous is warranted. And characterizing ignoring the reality of political systems as stomping one’s foot is the mildest of ridicule. It isn’t bullying. If you weren’t dismissing the facts in surewhynotlem’s comment, then I’m glad you accept them.

Everyone should just ignore their actual incentives. Wow. What a wonderful solution to collective action problems; why didn’t anyone ever think of that before? Come on. I don’t believe you are that stupid.

They gave facts and you dismiss them with a label because of a little ridicule? Your ending suggestion doesn’t even do the job… we can grant you the impossible, sure all those people vote third party. Result, still a loss, and their least preferred major party wins. Whoops, all those voters we granted you picked different third parties. Because as little as they barely agreed on preferring one of the major parties, they agree on a ranking of the “third parties” even less. If you ask for us to grant the impossible, at least make it one that would work.

This is currently a multi-tiered 170,000,000 people system we are discussing. History and mathematics are against simplistic appeals for quick changes. Propose childish thinking, and it is little wonder you get ridiculed as acting childish.

Don’t know about him, but the example I try to plant in people’s minds is that early in his presidency, he wanted money for a wall, democrats wanted “dreamers” to get citizenship (and every state has infrastructure projects they want). Seemed like great deal making ground to me. I was prepared at the time to be wrong about him and waited to see anything come out along the lines of a bargain. But he proved unable to do it.
