How is he shitty overall? His website is pro-LGBTQ+, pro-abortion rights, pro-universal health care, etc... etc...
Again, he categorically rejects the alt-right and white supremacists. Wanting to reduce white suicide and drug overdoses does not automatically make one a white supremacist or anti-immigrant or similar.
His proposals to base voting on the blockchain, put sunset clauses on literally every law, have the government intervene in regards to media that 'disrupt the public discourse, address climate change with shit like cloud seeding rather than daring even glance at the Green New Deal's somewhat effective ideas, and lay off, by his figures, around four hundred thousand people.
Never mind his creepy ideas and technofetishism with proposals like 'override local fire laws to build shit' and 'have a robot keep dad from hitting mom'.
The last line, of course, referring to using the fucking blockchain.
Thanks for putting that together. Dammit, I liked a lot of other things he said.

I'm afraid that it's so relevant. Is this a serious, common idea?
I've seen it suggested periodically, it's not clear how much widespread support it has.
Capitalism being what it is, I'm sure the companies selling electronic voting machines have seized upon blockchains as one more excuse to charge more money to governments.
