same way we can map the origin of the human species to west africa: identifying unqiue dna sequences of local areas and correlating the data (e.g. if they’ve found a certain dna sequence in all humans that they’ve also found on bones from 100,000 years ago in west africa, then that could suggest all humans originated from west africa at least 100,000 years ago)

Both Trump and the Libertarian Party try and brand themselves as an alternative to the status-quo, in the hopes of attracting dissatisfied voters angry at the growing cost of living, the current war, and the immiseration of everyday life for working-class people.

my hot take on the booing is that it was staged to splash the libertarian brand across all major media sites to scoop up these very votes the article is talking about; at such a crucial time before the election, we’re seeing Biden fail to inspire the masses—and, frankly, his age—and Trump continuously failing as a the successful, antiestablishment businessman he convinced many he was in 2016. isn’t the alt-right’s strategy for this election to sway votes away from Biden; no consideration for where they land, left or right, just as long as Biden doesn’t land them?
