Libertarian presidential candidate Jo Jorgensen's platform is VERY appealing.

So far, I’m liking her campaign strategy.
No gaffes yet, sticking to solid policy, and hitting right and left rather than just being anti-trump. If Jo can get into the debates, she’ll look like the adult in the room. I’ve been shocked at how many progressives on social media seem to be talking about her.

Cool with all of it besides "eliminate trade barriers & tariffs" and perhaps what she means by "reforming immigration". I stopped being a registered Libertarian about 5 years ago, so I'm not up to date.

The last thing this country needs is for her to pull any votes from Trump, because with a platform like that she’s not going to pull any votes from Biden.

I strongly agree with the majority of her platform...except for her support of open borders.

Though realistically, I hope she drops out because she’s going to pull a lot more voters away from Trump than she will from Biden and could possibly be a Ross Perot type of spoiler

Just going to be honest.

1- Open borders is a NON-Starter.

2- I am not pro "whatever you want to do" in society.

I liked her a lot until I found out she wants to open up the borders.

Screw that.

As appealing as it may be, a vote for her is equal to a vote for Biden.

She has literally zero chance to win and with the Dems and their cheating, Trump needs every vote he can get.

I probably would align with the LP on more of these issues than not.

Yet as communist street rabble is burning down our cities, does the LP genuinely think that legalizing prostitution is an issue that will register with voters right now?

This is why we libertarians can’t have nice things.

Yeah, no.

Ending deficit spending simply means more taxes to democrats, and many republicans.

Bringing home the troops. Okay, but is it done intelligently, or are we just creating a power vacuum for the Russians, Chinese, Iranians, Germans, or Saudis to step into? Do you understand the ramifications of that?

Eliminate trade barriers and tariffs. Right, unilaterally dropping all protections for US producers, farmers, and manufacturers will certainly cause the rest of the world to do the same, right? Right?

Reform immigration. Is that before or after you stop hundreds of thousands from simply walking across our border? Is that before or after you remove the hundreds of thousands abusing their visa privileges? Is that before or after you end childbirth tourism, birthright citizenship, and tax remittances at 50%?

End the drug war. Go ahead, but at the same time, let’s end the bilking of taxpayers to support and enable irresponsible drug addicts. Make it easier to take abused kids from addicted parents, and force deadbeat parents to financially support their offspring, whether they have custody or not, and whether they are gainfully employed or not.

Sure, reduce government, but not by making Americans less safe and secure. Reduce the bureaucracy by 40% before you start cutting the military.

Eliminate victimless crime. Sure. Just know that drug use and addiction are almost never victimless crimes.
