I will say since he came out against cops, he is dead to me. I still think he's the best option but I'm just done with caring.

Maybe just maybe you misunderstood his words?

The War on Drugs works--just ask the cartel bosses and their politician overlords. Violently enforced monopolies keep prices high and maximize profits. It's like alchemy converting blood into gold.

And the hoardes of people earning a good living in the business of locking people up for non-violent "crimes"....lawyers, judges, bail bondsmen, contractors building and maintaining jails, contractors selling jails shite like fruit cocktail and itchy assed blankets.....it is a growth industry.

ANd then you have the post prison industries....like low rent housing, walmart, maacdoanlds...and employers who need a permanent underclass of labor to exploit.


Gary Johnson was the Governor of the land of enchantment....there are a heaping pile of folks in prison in New Mexico who he could have simply told his underlings to not prosecute or to not prosecute fully...he didn't do it because, like all politicians, he listens to the squeaky wheels and the squeaky wheels of the prison industry are very loud.....


There are very few things that adults out not be able to buy and sale - kiddy porn, protection (mafia style protection...not security) and murder for hire...cocaine, whores, moonshine, meth, gambling....all ought to be perfectly legal....

Bingo.

You could go on and on for days about what a fraud this ticket is and how it isn’t even libertarian, but what’s the point? Johnson has exactly zero chance of winning the election. I say that knowing also….that an actual consistent and principled libertarian wouldn‘t have a snowballs chance in hell of winning either. As much as I wish one could.

The grim reality here people, is that Washington DC is 100% incompatible with libertarianism. You might as well be trying to get a Christian elected dictator of sharia law Saudi Arabia.

It aint happening. Ever.

How can anyone not laugh hysterically at fools like you who get fixated on frivolous issues like pot and where trannys can take a dump…..when there’s an actual yes? or no? vote about to go down on libertarian issues like whether to keep america’s sovereignty or not. Or whether you think we should continue perpetual war or not. Whether to keep the 2nd amendment or not. Etc…

Yes, mongos, while you impotently navel gaze about lesser issues there are actual real monumental colossal seismic LIBERTARIAN issues at stake in the difference between a Trump or a Clinton presidency. Ones that will change the course of this nation and humanity permanently. Ones that will decided with or without you.

But, hey. Congrats on having super cool-guy trendy opinions about crucial things like pot and trannys! You should make bumper stickers so the world can be as impressed of you as you are with yourselves. fricking useless idiots.

Nationalism is for morons. America is just a concept used to subject individuals to a burdensome set of rules designed to benefit a privileged minority. Individuals should be sovereign and above a subservient government.

He's got no chance at winning. Voting for him is a wasted vote. If you are voting your "conscience", might as well write in a candidate. All these candidates do is motivate people to NOT vote for one of the two candidates that have a shot a winning.

We need to stop criminalizing personal choices that do no harm to others.

"Harm" needs to be defined here, because you can argue that there are a bunch of negative, indirect consequences that affect others for things that seemingly "do no harm". That's the whole argument behind banning sugar and other harmful foods and drinks, because while those things may only physically harm the individuals consuming them, they add costs to society, primarily through health costs.

I'm not in favor of banning foods and drinks because of costs to society; I think there are better ways to address those issues, but, we have to get people to agree on what "harm" looks like and then draw a line in the sand on specific issues.

I'm in Colorado. The state is probably going to go to Hillary regardless of my vote, but Trump is the only candidate that has a chance regardless of the state you live in, so any vote that isn't Hillary should be for Trump, IMO.

You're right about the fanboys on both sides, which is why both parties need an equal split before a third party has a legitimate chance. An Independent who only draws from one side only makes the other side more likely to win.

Personal freedom from a burdensome federal govt?

Maybe if you hold your breath, Trump and Clinton will drop their campaigns and unite to focus on pot and tranny defecation rights.

Unbelievable.
