The Libertarians are no better. I have given them serious consideration. My first political act was to join Young Americans for Freedom back in the day. Bill Buckley was my first hero, before Reagan even. Buckley was way ahead of the curve calling for the legalization of drugs and giving Panama independence. I don't go quite that far on the drug thing, but I do believe in the legalization of pot.So, vote for, and campaign for, the Libertarian candidate (regarless of who) and be done with this.Bootney, maybe it would help if you understood that my perspective is that this is a "clash of the Titans" kind of thing. Very entertaining.
Kind of like when Trump was into the WWF.
A big show. A big, fake show.
It's going to be fun watching them break chairs on each other's heads.
Most of us know this is a WWE performance to give us the illusion of a choice, but if enough people say "fuck it" and vote L or G or whatever, and that party gets a seat at the table along side the Ds and Rs, we may actually get some real change, or some much-needed gridlock.
You seem to be doing a shit ton of cheerleading, but against your own agenda, to the point where you LOOK like a goose-stepping commie hack acting like someone else.
Just sayin'

My parents have both served as chairman of my home state's American Conservative Union. Before my military career, when I was just a pup, I was making political speeches on the floor of my state's legislative chambers. I also worked on two Republican congressional campaigns.
So I have had a lot of contact with libertarians over the years. Unfortunately, they have always struck me as being too far off the mark and oblivious to human nature.
I have carried with me the best parts of libertarianism and they are very dear to me. But as a retired military man, the Libertarian Party's views on our national defense are in serious contradiction with my own beliefs.
