This is an absolutely insane position to take. There are countless legitimate reasons for someone to be on your property without your knowledge. Workers from the electric or water utility trying to fix your services after a storm, for one. What if there is an emergency and firefighters need to rescue you from a blaze or EMT workers need to get into your house where you are having a heart attack? What if police are tracking a dangerous fugitive in the area and come into your yard or back yard to make sure he isn't hiding behind your tool shed? What if you get into a major car accident and a relative tries to swing by your place to get a change of clothes and some paperwork for you while you're still unconscious and unable to warn them?
Legitimate defense requires discrimination. If you have a gun and a dog, you can tell the difference between all those things I listed and a junkie trying to steal the copper out of your AC unit or a burglar trying to break in and you can decide in the moment whether or not shooting or whether or not calling your dog back are appropriate.
You can also add in home security systems, surveillance cameras, motion sensor fog lights and sturdy locks to further protect your family and property, but no, boobytraps are an insane and unjustifiable idea.
Lol, I'm really not advocating for Gary in these posts.
Here's the thing though, if we had ranked choice voting in 2016 and you only like Trump, you don't have to put down any alternatives. You can still essentially vote Trump or bust and then your vote isn't any different.
But consider this. Right now, with a candidate like Trump to vote for, you have nothing to gain from ranked choice voting. But remember very recently when the GOP establishment screwed us all and made RINO Romney the Republican candidate? Remember a little bit before that when they screwed us and made Globalist John McCain the Republican candidate? They basically gave Obama both terms by doing that. Ranked choice voting protects your right to vote from being squandered on your behalf by incompetent or corrupt party leaders.
Yes, we do have a 2 party system. But, and here's the thing, we are not supposed to have a 2 party system. Founding fathers didn't want parties at all.
I agree with your statement on Gary Johnson's border and immigration policies, but his policies were the libertarian way. Under ranked choice voting, if those policies are a deal breaker for you, you can demote him to a rank below Trump, making Trump your #1 and your vote will never be reranked. Anyway, libertarians have a much stronger candidate now, Jo Jorgensen.
The vast majority of libertarians would have their second choice fall to the conservative, due to their positions on gun control. Libertarians are more pro gun than the Republicans, so this system would put extra pressure on conservatives to be more pro gun.
Also, you're forgetting some very recent history. It's easy to rally against ranked choice voting when you have a candidate like Trump to support. But, remember very recently when the Republican party screwed us and made RINO Mitt Romney the Republican candidate? Or a little bit before that, when the Republican party made globalist John McCain the Republican candidate? Ranked choice voting protects your right to vote from being squandered away on your behalf by corrupt or incompetent party leaders.
No, it's really just about breaking the 2 party system and allowing more candidates to be heard. A lot of far right libertarians such as myself have been advocating for this for over a decade. It's the only way to get libertarian candidates like Jo Jorgensen and Gary Johnson any traction.
Also, ranked choice voting in primaries could allow some states to get rid of the RINOs in the House and Senate.
Nah, prison laborers are paid 20 cents an hour and get 3 meals a day. Under socialism, nobody is paid anything for their work because the government ran out of rich people to tax and you get 1 meal every other day because the government ran out of farms to seize and redistribute.
Please come to FL and register to vote! We need to offset some of the snowbirds from blue states. People from New Jersey, Massachusetts and New York just love coming down here and voting for anti-gun socialists like Andrew Gillum.
I love the guy and can't wait to vote for him again, but I don't think he has the EQ to be president. He doesn't get people pumped up like a president should. Hopefully he gets and finishes a second term as Governor and then represents us in Congress. I don't know where he lives, but maybe he can move and replace one of the FL RINOs.
I doubt Seattle will have any Sheriff's deputies left at this rate. If it weren't for pensions that a lot of them have been working towards for their entire adult lives, the whole dept. probably would have walked out by now.
The appreciative ones worked for it. Or, if they inherited it, they were still expected to pull their weight by doing chores around the house, excelling in school (while studying useful topics, possibly at private school) and most importantly, learning their history.
These modern day spoiled brats never lifted a finger. Mommy and daddy would never dare inconvenience them. I've got a few cousins as proof.
These signs are put out by the road. You know, where burried water and electric lines are, that a utilities worker might be servicing. So a utilities worker may need to move the sign to do their job, which was the first example I gave of someone having legitimate reasons to be on his property.
I'm very sorry your intuition is so underdeveloped that you need every last detail of a hypothetical situation spelled out for you to understand it. Try harder next time!
