What is libertarianism

[ChadAmberg]

From what I understand from current polling, the Libertarian vote is pulling more from the D side than the R side.

Gary Johnson may seem ok, but William Weld is not. He's pro AWB and he endorsed Obama. Weld pushed for electric car mandates and is on record supporting eminent domain. Anyone who says they are libertarian, but then picks a running mate with that very non-libertarian record, can't be trusted.

No thanks.

I cant stand Weld either. But he was voted for..

That said, both Hilary and Trump are pro-AWB - the Libertarian party, as a whole, is overwhelmingly not.

GUN AND MAGAZINE BANS. Gun and magazine bans are a total failure. That’s been proven every time it’s been tried. Opponents of gun rights try to come up with scary sounding phrases like “assault weapons”, “military-style weapons” and “high capacity magazines” to confuse people. What they’re really talking about are popular semi-automatic rifles and standard magazines that are owned by tens of millions of Americans. Law-abiding people should be allowed to own the firearm of their choice. The government has no business dictating what types of firearms good, honest people are allowed to own.

You said Trump so davsel's ears starting burning.

Trump is an opportunist and as such, he changes his "opinion" on subjects however he sees fit that it will benefit him. And that's true of the AWB. First he was for it but now that he's running as a republican, he's against it. Just like a true politician, he's a walking flip-flop.

He can't be trusted either even though he says the right things on his website.

Well, thats what he put on his website... Not sure I believe that's what be actually believes, but I'd still take my chances on him over hillary any day of the week. This is one time I think hillary would actually keep her word and attempt to completely ban guns as she's said many times.

Doesn't really matter who the libertarian candidate is, they don't have a shot at getting elected. Most people I know who plan on voting libertarian are doing so to send a message and to hopefully increase the libertarian status for the next cycle.

I was a rubio or cruz supporter (most electable out of the options we were presented with), was willing to vote trump once he was close to securing the nomination and the GOP establishment started sounding like the dems attacking trump. Trump's latest public displays he's looking more and more like the clown his opponents claim he is. If he doesn't turn it around, start taking this shit a little more seriously, I'll skip the presidential vote completely for the first time in my life.

Instead of not voting, why not vote for the party that most resembles your political views - even if it isn't a perfect match. "I'm going to take my ball and go home - that will teach them."

Trump will sell us out at the first politically appropriate time that suits him.
