Remember. He is a felon. That means he cannot vote in an election, but he absolutely can be elected to created laws. It’s so weird thinking about that out loud.
JFC I used to be a libertarian and I still agree with some of their values, but over the last 20 years they’ve really just become a joke. Not as much as the GOP, who intentionally associate with Cruz and MTG, but this is getting there.
It’s like someone said “it can’t be worse than Ted Cruz and Margie…” And the libertarian is all “hold my beer.”
They’ve always been a joke. You’ve just grown up.
Same here.
I used to have a buddy that said, “tell me the difference between an anarchist and a libertarian.” When I would ask what or someone would as a what. He would say, “Libertarians are just anarchists in denial.”
Despite what you think the values are not entirely far off and both are kind of silly one believes in the government not interfering with your business until that government isn’t supporting what they want it to support.
The other says, “I don’t want the government interfering with my business or anything at all until someone wants to run the portion the government can’t to support what the government wasn’t supporting for them.”
I used to be, too, and still am registered as one (Only to keep myself from being counted as a Democrat or Republican which they love to lump Independents into them), but I’ve noticed the nonsense between 2008 and 2010 which is about the time the media focused on these pieces of human garbage over all the others.
I really don’t see an easy fix, and most of what I’ve seen in history, it usually gets much much worse before it gets better.
Do most U.S. Libertarians not see themselves this way?
Fuck
I’m a shamanic practitioner irl and this guy’s nickname pisses me off. The guy pisses me off, too. His ancestors think he’s a cunt, I bet.
that’s because Libertarians are nothing but trolls
God fucking damnit. I’d love to see them get their shit together and be a real competitor
Doesn’t the 14th amendment have him barred already? This seems a non issue as it can’t happen.
As far as I am aware, it has never been tested. Clearly he should not be able to run, and clearly neither should Trump, but laws only have meaning if they are enforced.
They embrace the right to give children heroine, too, but that doesn’t mean you should ever listen to these morons.
As a liberal-libertarian, this shit pisses me off.
I want the libertarian party to be taken seriously. I think the libertarian platform could very well have mass appeal.
But they need to stop focusing on wingnuts like this who not only will NEVER get elected to anything more than dog catcher, but harm the whole image of libertarians and libertarianism.
Libertarians should focus on personal freedom and lower taxes. And Stop with the far right wing shit- ‘let’s lower taxes by defunding the EPA and let the open market tackle pollution’ type stuff.
