You couldn’t do better than “Windy” for the Plains and Great Lakes states? How about “Coldenwindee”? Or “Snowindy”? “Rustendwindy”?

They should embrace it and annoy the right wing at the same time.

Which is to say, if we allow ourselves a crudely democratic understanding of what representative democracy should be, there would only be 16 senators in a Senate that fairly represented people living in California.
That’s disingenuous. We have the house of representatives for that. It isn’t exactly proportional, but that’s the goal.
As every good loyalist knows, the most profoundly proportional number of representatives is 1.

I’ve been calling myself a Socialist-Libertarian/Libertarian Socialist for quite some time, to tick people off (I don’t think it’s worked). But I didn’t know that it actually existed. At least not consciously.

As a native Washingtonian, I hate it but have to admit that it is incredibly accurate.

Left-libertarian is probably the default state for most Europeans who consider themselves libertarian.
If anything, it’s odd to European libertarians that American ones are so fastidious about freedom from the state, but play dumb when it comes to capital. But of course to American ones, corporations are people, my friend.
The libertarian problem the world over is one akin to religion and J.R.R. Tolkien: they read one big book when they’re just a little too young and it fills them so completely they never need to read another.
