The Republicans will find someone to siphon votes away from the Democratic candidate.

Libertarians don’t take many votes from Donks. That’s because Donks like you believe in the overweening power of the state. Greens, who tend to be nanny-staters with a hostility to market economics, take more votes from Donks. You really are a simpleton.

I saw Gary Johnson (American hero) on the news last week plucking survivors from the avalanche in New Mexico.

You don't believe in limiting powers of the Executive Branch so everything you say about this subject can be discounted.

Whoever it is this liberal will likely vote for them...or write in C. Montgomery Burns.

Freedom trumps ideology.

Anyone casting a vote for either major party doesn’t understand the current state of our system.

I'm not throwing my vote away.

He’s the AOC of CSD

Don’t you mean “executive CHAMBER”, AOC?

Trump.

With Bill Weld showing his true spots and re-registering as a Republican for a possible preppie primary challenge to Tangerine Twit, the field is wide open.

Most Libertarians I know thought Weld was a LINO anyway, and good riddance.

I doubt Amash will get into the 2020 POTUS race. He knows he at least has a platform for preaching the libertarian (small-l intentional) gospel as a Republican. Not to mention electability to Congress. Too bad, because the National LP needs a credible candidate in ‘20 to preserve its ballot access going forward.

Out of bemused curiosity, Mrs. Ivy accompanied me to this month’s Sussex LP meeting. She thought the political discussion was interesting, and she participated in it, but she thought the attendees (myself included?) were a bit unusual.

Next time keep your clothes on.

This is why Ivy now is a Libertarian...freedom crushing conks like you.

Don't call Mrs. Ivy a freedom crushing conk.

Youre probably right about Amash.

But I really wish he would jump in... he could probably preserve his seat and go back to Congress afterwards.... somebody needs to advance the LP narrative and he’s the perfect one to do it

Recently, LP members who ran later as Republicans haven’t fared well with the narrative thing. Austin Petersen, who finished a distant second to Gary Johnson in 2016 for the LP POTUS nomination, finished a very distant third to Josh Hawley in the 2018 Missouri GOP Senate primary. Hawley, of course, beat McCaskill.

And casting a vote for a Libertarian means you don't understand what a Librtarian Government would actually be like

Yeah, whoever the Donk candidate ends up being would really be in danger of losing Maine.

In 2015, mid-summer, mid day, Alex and I noted a man in full suit/tie walking on McDowell Road on the 1.5 mile stretch that runs through Papago Park - open desert, no shade, 200 foot elevation gain then loss.

Alex stopped the truck to ask if he needed help - he said no, he was running to try to get the Libertarian Nomination for President and was on his way to a LP meeting at Desert Botanical Gardens. Being the compassionate liberals we are, we drove him the 2 miles to his meeting. Needless to say he didn't win the nomination

I don't think I'd want the Libertarian Party in control of either chamber in Congress. But, I wouldn't have any problem with a libertarian or Libertarian as President. POTUS is a perfect office for a libertarian, imo.

As President, they would have a much easier time implementing their socially/civilly liberal positions and a more difficult time implementing their fiscally conservative positions.

Voted for a Libertarian candidate in 2016. Hopefully I won't feel the need again, but would have no problem doing so.

That may be the dumbest post you’ve ever made in here. And that’s saying something.

Was it good for you?

Is this the thread where you guys predict 7%+ of the popular vote for the LP candidate again this election?
