All I have to go by in judging libertarians is Chris.
And frankly, I am not impressed.
To be honest Chris appears to be a pissed off Democrat , pissed off because the average democrat is not left enough.
To be honest, you wouldn't know what a political party stood for if it hit you in the face.
Put up an example of what you're talking about. Put up an example of where I am pissed off because the Dems aren't "eft enough" for me, and not an example of me disagreeing with your or other Republicans and using the "You're a Democrat" zinger.
Do I agree with some platforms of the Democratic party? Yes. Do I agree on how they should be implemented? No. Do I agree with some platforms of the GOP? Yes. Do I agree on how they should be implemented? No.
No but they will make sure I know their name by election day, or they won't get elected.
Doing research on a candidate - of course. But you cannot research someone if you don't even know they exist.
If they are that lazy during their "campaign", how can anyone expect them to work if they get the job?
That's all ignoring the fact that any party outside of the GOP and Dems has to fight to even get on the ballot.
If a party takes a majority of their time trying to get on ethe ballot, conventional wisdom dictates that is less time to get their name out. That's hardly being "lazy". Being lazy is expecting politicians to come to you, or expecting the media to tell you who to vote for.
As in Gary Johnson during the 2016 campaign.."What would you do about Aleppo??" Johnson "What is Aleppo?"
Johnson, like all politicians, made a flub there. No denying that. I guess the upside is that was his only one vs. the ongoing moronic statements coming out of Washington right now.
Luckily for us, the Presidential election isn't the only one we can vote in.
One thing that can be said. The Democrats AND Republicans put us where we are right now. No Libertarian brought continual wars/conflicts in the Middle East. No Libertarian continually spends more money than the country makes. So, as much as everyone is willing to criticize another party, perhaps you all should be looking at who you've voted for over the years and ask if they were good choices. Of course, you'll still have people like Hijinx that'll go to his grave blaming Obama and the Democrats for everything wrong in the world and you'll have folks like Sapidus blaming the GOP for everythign wrong in the world, but for those of us who care about the future of this country, outside of tribal politics, can see that our current trajectory isn't sustainable and continually electing people into office who got us into that position liekly isn't the brightest idea.
had the same thought
