gjolund··on The 2016 Election
There was a post the other day on the front page about how someone's wife got offended on a subway.

This site has been shit for a while. Every now and then I pick up some new tech, but it is mostly news about SV housing market and self important "technologists" stroking their ego.

"Representative democracy... practical system"

Not anymore. We need to restructure if we the people are ever going to have say in government again.

gjolund··on The 2016 Election
That train of thought is the only thing keeping the Hillary campaign alive.

Build truly open communication platforms.

Reddit, Twitter, HN, and Facebook have all shown heavy bias and a willingness to stifle conversation that they didn't agree with.

I would like to see ad free communication platform that supports content creaters through donation and patronage.

Or the firebombing of election offices?
gjolund··on The 2016 Election
Trump is a new player in politics, whereas Hillary represents business as usual.

Hillary means more drone strikes, corporate appeasment, global interventions, weapon sales to Saudi Arabia, and a complete lack of transparency into government.

I will not vote for a candidate that represents so much of what is wrong with this country, solely becuase she wants me to believe the other guy is worse.

Fear tactics are the last resort of tyrants, my mind was made up after the DNC Leaks.

gjolund··on The 2016 Election
Not true.

Bernie was pretty far left and he got crushed by neo-con Hillary.

gjolund··on The 2016 Election
As an American I share your view of Hillary.

There are other candidates besides Trump, but I feel like I am taking crazy pills trying to educate people on Hillary's history.

gjolund··on The 2016 Election
Let's not forget about all the weapons we are selling Saudi Arabia.

They are killing civilians with weapons made in the USA.

gjolund··on The 2016 Election
I have been saying this for months.

I would prefer 4 more years on congressional deadlock to the dystopian nightmare that Hillary will unleash.

Force the DNC to address its shortcomings, and push a real progressive in the next election.

gjolund··on The 2016 Election
How about holding people like Clinton responsible for where their funding comes from?
gjolund··on The 2016 Election
Now Trump = actual hatred.

I don't support trump, but the hyperbole is getting exhausting.

gjolund··on Peter Thiel, YC, and hard decisions
The purge begins.

And the left calls Trump supporters fascists...

gjolund··on Wikileaks: Julian Assange's internet access 'cut'
Wikileaks was leaking stuff I agreed with.

Now it isn't.

Wikileaks is bad.

gjolund··on A Man Who Stood Up To Facebook
I have said it before, and I will say it again.

Facebook is the folly of our generation. We are already paying the consequences of giving away our right to privacy, and it is only going to get worse.

gjolund··on Venezuela’s Supreme Court Consolidates President Nicolás Maduro’s Power
Why aren't they getting the fuck out now?
gjolund··on Millennials are still not getting married
Like I said, the only reason to get married is the rights afforded to married couples by the government.

My ex and I are on great terms, and our divorce was mutual yet somehow still a huge pain in the ass.

gjolund··on Millennials are still not getting married
Yes.
gjolund··on Millennials are still not getting married
Marriage is like saying "I love you so much, lets get the government involved."

Why would we want to get married after watching every marriage around us end with a nasty divorce.

gjolund··on Twitter shares drop as Salesforce reported to be out of the bidding process
SalesForce is more brand than product, it is the type of product you start using after your CEO comes back from golf with his other CEO buddies.

After a certain point you can't blame people for robbing you if you keep leaving the door unlocked.

gjolund··on Show HN: Styled-components – Use the best of ES6 to style React apps
Very cool, I have been playing around with this idea for a little bit now and your implementation looks solid.

Looking forward to giving this a shot on my next side project.

gjolund··on Zenefits, a Rocket That Fell to Earth, Tries to Launch Again
I know you are joking, but I hear this sentiment all the time.

SV is just as corrupt as wall street, and would be just as willing to take bailouts if they were offered.
